众所周知，电子表格软件Microsoft Excel在使用默认设置时，可以将基因名称转换为日期和浮点数。对领先基因组学期刊的程序性扫描显示，大约五分之一的带有补充Excel基因列表的论文包含错误的基因名称转换。本文的在线版本(doi：10.1186/s1305910161044-7)包含补充材料，授权用户可以使用。
The spreadsheet software Microsoft Excel, when used with default settings, is known to convert gene names to dates and floating-point numbers. A programmatic scan of leading genomics journals reveals that approximately one-fifth of papers with supplementary Excel gene lists contain erroneous gene name conversions. The online version of this article (doi:10.1186/s13059-016-1044-7) contains supplementary material, which is available to authorized users.
