so apparently there's this contest for funny genes going on in my genetic class. my prof was primarily inspired by two woman scientists in ucsf who mapped the genes on the Y chromosome. apart from the real gene "testis determining factor TDF" the rest are made up. such as:
Channel Flipping - FLP
Air Guitar - RIF
Ability to identify aircraft - DC-10
Total lack of recall for dates - OOPS
Selective hearing loss - HUH?
and the whole list with locus mapping is HERE
