nomencatrue changes

This gene is definately a cyclin, and most likely one of many cyclin o, b or cyclin o, b like genes.

Thus we are provisonally updating its name from unnamed/ XB940377 to cyclin-o- b gene 4, ccnob.4 as it is the 4th when counting left to right) in this string of 12 duplicated genes.

note that: Ccna2, is cylin A2 Ccnf, is cyclin F Ccna1,is cylin A1 Ccng1, i s cyclin G1 Ccno is cyclin O

SO we can confidently say this is another cyclin gene. The cyclins consist of 8 classes of cell cycle regulators, designated A-G, also Q & S in invertebates, that regulate cyclin dependent kinases (CDKs), so further phylogenetic assessment is required to classify this protein.
