Look Away; Bad Pun Ahead

Posted by Eric at 8:58 pm | Category: Biology, Humor

I’ve kept this back for a long time, but sometimes I just can’t help myself to a bad pun or two (or three), so here it is, the world’s worst biology/programming combo joke. Please, look away, it isn’t pretty. (Prerequisites: Perl, some knowledge of biology)

So, what is this Perl subroutine?

sub p53
{
  my @n_mer = @_;
  if (scalar(@n_mer) == 2) {
    return ();
  }
  return @n_mer;
}

It’s a “two-mer” suppressor!

I warned you.
