  • Script error: No such module "search".
  • Some of these are specific genes. At what point does a specific gene warrant having a Wikipedia article? There are different genes for each species, and homologs of the same gene can have different names in different species. Engrailed is a drosophila gene, and it's mentioned within the Morphogenesis page; this could redirect to that. I'm guessing that Ras-A is a Ras gene? V-Ras appears to be. What makes V-Ras notable? It would help to know how the list is generated; these topics sometimes seem obscure or look like misspellings. Madeleine 14:18, 23 July 2007 (UTC)
    • Good question; I think I do not know enough to be sure when the specific genes need their own articles. I take these notes from various sources (including other Wikipedia articles) and sometimes the context is not clear. Any suggestions? - Skysmith
      • Here's one way to throw out things as being too obscure - searching the NCBI bookshelf ([1]) for any textbook mentions. If they aren't talking about it, it definitely isn't a missing page. Madeleine 19:55, 27 July 2007 (UTC)
