20% of scientific papers on genes contain gene name conversion errors caused by Excel

<http://www.winbeta.org/news/20-of-scientific-papers-on-genes-contain-gene-name-conversion-errors-caused-by-excel>

"According to three scientists, Mark Ziemann, Yotam Eren, and Assam
El-Osta, Microsoft Excel has trouble converting gene names."

Probably the wrong tool for the job, and certainly not using it correctly.
