What’s so funny is that you’d assume it was just a silly coincidence and there’s actually a fancy scientific justification behind the name. But no, it’s literally named after Sonic.

this method of naming stuff is much better than naming shit like “mitogen-activated protein kinase kinase kinase”

Sonic Hedgehog is also found in basically all complex living organisms, invertebrates and vertebrates. Its kind of one of the most important genes for complex multi-organ life

There’s a roach named after pheromosa from Pokémon and a virus after Minos prime from ultrakill, it’s more common than you think

Oh yeah! I remember learning abt that in science! Super funny. Scientists love to just pull out the “random bullshit go” when naming things XD
