Ode to the ‘tode and the Gene Jockeys
 
In 2002, the Yeast Genetics Course members sang this song to the participants of both the C.elegans Course and the Eukaryotic Gene Expression Course...

The song is set to the tune of "Sail Away Ladies"

Ode to the ‘tode and the Gene Jockeys


Come on Nematodes don’t you cry,
Nematodes, nematodes don’t you cry

Things will be better by and by
Nematodes, nematodes don’t you cry


Chorus:

Saccharomyces cerevisiae,
Saccharomyces cerevisiae
We do genetics perfectly
We’re everything you wanna be

We’ve got plasmids by the score,
Nematodes, nematodes don’t you cry

Centromeres, telomeres and much much more
Nematodes, nematodes don’t you cry


Chorus

We knock out genes one by one,
Nematodes, nematodes don’t you cry

We got the entire genome done
Nematodes, nematodes don’t you cry


Chorus

Hey there Gene Expression how about you?
Gene Expression Gene Expression don’t you cry
We’re much better than you too
Gene Expression Gene Expression don’t you cry

Chorus

We don’t use p32
Gene Expression Gene Expression don’t you cry
We’re not mutant, how about you?
Gene Expression Gene Expression don’t you cry

Chorus


We knock out genes and say bye bye,
Nematodes and Gene Expression don’t you cry

None of that goddamn RNAi
Nematodes and Gene Expression don’t you cry


Chorus

Nematodes and Gene Expression Don’t you cry
Nematodes, and Gene Expression don’t you cry

You’ll get better by and by
Nematodes and Gene Expression don’t you cry


Chorus
