Vanity genome searches

So Craig Venter and his team put a secret message in their arficial genome. But perhaps your name is present in a natural genome? Stephen Matheson explains how to search a public gene database.

I went searching, and found that DWRAGG appears in a gene in Oryza sativa var. japonicaJapanese rice

(This reminded me of a Futureshock strip in 2000AD comic back in the 80s. In that story, when scientists decode the human genome, they find a message saying something like “copyright Jehovah Labs”. The letter O isn't used to refer to one of the 20 amino acids, so I searched for YHWHLABS instead. No matches.)

Perhaps, "A" should be omitted as well since Jehovah Labs writes without vowels.
