Hedgehog (I seem to recall drosophila embryos having "spikes") and,
following from that, sonic hedgehog (and also indian hedgehog and even
desert hedgehog)
Tinman (no heart, i think, in zebrafish) and heart of glass,
and, 18 wheeler (in embryonic cells that migrate a long way) and Toll in
Drosophila.
I'm sure there must be some names derived from Tolkien or even Star
Trek.
