The claim that you can find any text in DNA, the Communist Manifesto or the entire works of Shakespeare is simply not true.
I believe you are right there. The downside is that I also believe that you won't find a large part of the bible either.

And reading a file backwards is not quite as simple as simply calling reverse, because what you do in your example reads the whole file into memory and that will not work with very large files.

And as you still seem to be in the brainstorming phase:

You probably know that only a small part of the dna is actually encoding proteins, so you may consider restricting your search to these areas (or maybe a restrict your search to the non-coding parts).

Lots of parameters you can tweak, so you'll bound to find something...

Title:
Use:  <p> text here (a paragraph) </p>
and:  <code> code here </code>
to format your post; it's "PerlMonks-approved HTML":



  • Are you posting in the right place? Check out Where do I post X? to know for sure.
  • Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
    <code> <a> <b> <big> <blockquote> <br /> <dd> <dl> <dt> <em> <font> <h1> <h2> <h3> <h4> <h5> <h6> <hr /> <i> <li> <nbsp> <ol> <p> <small> <strike> <strong> <sub> <sup> <table> <td> <th> <tr> <tt> <u> <ul>
  • Snippets of code should be wrapped in <code> tags not <pre> tags. In fact, <pre> tags should generally be avoided. If they must be used, extreme care should be taken to ensure that their contents do not have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor intervention).
  • Want more info? How to link or How to display code and escape characters are good places to start.
