OMFGAWESOME: a POKEMON gene!!!

[Load Chaud]

While naming the gene POKEMON could be a coincidence, I think there may be more to it. They referred to turning off the gene as "knocking it out." Knocking out POKEMON? Hmmm....!

the Factor part of the word isn't part of the acronym. They get the N from the first two letters of the last word.

Probably the genetic code for the mutation. Kind of like how if you looked at a string of DNA in letter form, you'd just get GATTACA as your coding.

EDIT: Whoops... it's GATTAGA... redface I forgot they made a movie titled that, and the trivia behind it is that the letters that make up the title are also the letters used in DNA sequencing codes.
