Early reference to Eigengene[edit]
You might find this early reference to Eigengene interesting. [1] SemperBlotto (talk) 22:08, 21 February 2014 (UTC)
- Thanks again for adding "eigengene" to Wiktionary! The suggested reference to "eigengene" that is earlier than 1999 is indeed interesting, however, it is not a reference to the English word "eigengene," not just in language but also in meaning: it is a German phrase in a German text on plant breeding, using the German phrase "self-gene" to mean a wild-type gene in the wild-type plant.
