The gene was named by Robert Riddle, a postdoctoral fellow at the Tabin Lab, after his wife Betsy Wilder came home with a magazine containing an advert for the first game in the series, Sonic the Hedgehog (1991)

To all the young engineers here, this is one of those things that seems really funny and a great idea at the time, but lasts way past the joke being funny.

We have high power compute machines at my workplace for environmental modelling, named Motherbrain and Daughter after the environmental control computers from Phantasy Star 4. I am entirely to blame and I have no regrets. The only downside is when a younger engineer finds out and asks me if nudge wink maybe it’s a Metroid reference. :P
