Interesting gene names. Some of these may have changed recently (to something less offensive/funny).

    Seems like I remember the fly guys at IU Bloomington talking about a "son killer" gene when I haunted the place.

    Great, feel free to add it! When I was looking for son killer at FlyBase, I found daugter killer instead...

    Are you a biologist of some sort, hernesheir? (I'm not, just fascinated...)

    I'm going to resist adding Gene Autry, Gene Siskel, and Gene Wilder.

    And I'll resist adding Jean Baptiste Lully.... ( and Jean Piaget, Jean-Paul Sartre, Jean-Honoré Fragonard, Jean Lafitte, Jean-Baptiste Poquelin, Jean Nicholas Arthur Rimbaud and Jean Genet.) not to remark upon Jean-Baptiste Lamarck

    Jean Genet wins, surely.

    Lamarck has to be "in the money." What do others say?

    Since I got a bit carried away and added more than 900 Drosophila melanogaster genes, I think this list is big enough to accommodate all your Genes and Jeans and jeans and Eugenes ...
