Google has a problem with DNA analysis
About a year ago, my roommate started a little DNA analysis journal club here at Berkeley. It was just meant to be a group of like-minded students discussing recent advances in analytical DNA technologies. He tried creating a Google group for that club, not expecting the fairly judgmental response he received…
Note that Google’s skilled text parser caught our hidden innuendo:
This group name is not suitable. You cannot include the text “anal” in the group name.
This is particularly amusing considering Google’s close ties with a certain consumer genetics company in the bay area. We ended up going with “DNA Journal Group” instead. Thanks for keeping it clean, Google!
