Not in the slightest. It is a gene named by fruit fly geneticists and they are a bunch of WILD AND CRAZY GUYS! They have a gene called Decaplexaplegic, and when they found a gene that regulates that gene they named it Mothers against Decaplexaplegic. They also named a gene INDY for the Monty Python gag "I'm not dead yet", it is a gene that protects the cell from programmed cell death.
