Since she cloned it and found the gene mutated was c21orf59 - now called cfap298- she got to name the mutant. So "Kurly" to merge her name and the phenotype so "she can be immortalized in science." /x

There is a convention in some labs that if you clone the gene affected in a mutant, you get to name the mutant. My student, whose last name was Ku, cloned the mutant as part of her senior thesis. The mutant fish has a tail that curls down as part of its phenotype./1

Why waste an hour doing something a computer can do well in 15 secs? (Serious question).
