Pokemon no longer causes cancer

It was almost one year ago when scientists had found agene that causes cancer and named it POKEMON (POK Erythroid Myeloid ONtogenic). The name was indeed clever, but is nomore. The reason? Pokemon USA, not wanting its "gotta catch 'em all!" card associated with anything that causes cancer,had threatened to sue Memorial Sloan-Kettering Cancer Center, where the gene had been discovered and the termcoined.

The new name for the gene is the not-so-interesting (and unpronounceable) Zbtb7 – as it turns out, Sonic the Hedgehogis already taken.
