Duncan's personalised decode results

 

name = *DXNCAN*

 

Why has decode put some 'X's in my name?

 

There are only 20 amino acids encoded by DNA, so there might be some

letters in your name that do not stand for any amino acids (O or Z, for

example). Decode replaces these letters with an X, which means 'any

amino acid'.
