Cute (or Egotistical) Algorithm Name

Posted by Eric at 1:39 am | Category: Humor, Literature

I just saw this in PLoS Computational Biology:
Matt: Local Flexibility Aids Protein Multiple Structure Alignment.

I thought to myself, Matt? What’s that?

Technically, it stands for “Multiple Alignment with Translations and Twists.” But really, “Matt” is just an algorithm named after the first author, Matthew Menke.

Cute or egotistical, what do you think?
