When I grow up, I want to name my own gene.

Okay, so the most adorable gene name ever is "Tinman", which is involved in heart development in chordate embryos. Why "Tinman"? Because in the Wizard of Oz, the Tinman wished he had a heart. D'awwwww~.

And did you know that you can fit a 4-year-old kid in a whale's aorta? That's hilarious.
