Can you believe that some of us are still naming genes "zf-blah"? Naughty, naughty. That's not allowed.
We suppose some of you figure conventions are just for old fuddy duddies; who cares about those old rules anyway? But, hey, aren't we all supposed to be scholars?
Next time you are faced with the fun task of naming a cloned gene or a new mutant, remember that there are a few simple rules to help you keep from making a fool of yourself. We summarize them in this issue of the Monitor and encourage you to read and remember them.
