Biochemists do have a sense of humour, so my guess is that the explanation came after the idea. Although hox was the first following that pattern, I can see how having the -ox ending at hand was too tempting.

Then there's the gene linked to athletic ability - jox.
And there's the tracer gene for Jewish ancestry - lox.

Oh lox... yum! Love the stuff.

Once, during a breakfast of bagels and cream cheese and lox, an English friend of mine asked for "a lock". After a good deal of laughter we filled her in on the actual term, Lox!

Wow, this is very interesting! Though clearly this technology would not allow us to have biological children, I think this could be a first step in that direction, once we know what we're doing. It reminds of some of the trans erotica I used to read (only the ones with happy endings mind you).

I'm 27 and nowhere near ready for SRS, so I have some hope of if not being carryinbg a my child, then at least having to avoid the castration part of SRS; I'd be nice to have my testicles become ovaries. It just seems a lot more wonderful that way.

Well,that technology won"t do me any good.Mine are sitting out in a waste dump somewhere out there.I"ve been keeping my fingers crossed that they don"t find their way back home .

God I'm glad I didn't read that while drinking something or that something would be all over the screen now. From the nose mind you.

How about "From Mickey to Minnie"? Huh?
