here is a liner I use to find reverse complementary / palindromic D|RNA sequences (thought this would be up your alley because of your sig.) :
<c>
perl -nle 'tr/A-Z/a-z/;$m=length();reverse(substr($_,($m/2)+($m%2))) eq substr($_,0,$m/2) ? print : next' /file/of/sequences/one_per_line
</c>
works on any list of "words" tho ... /usr/share/dict/words, etc.
<p>update: ... this node_id has 2X \d{3} palindromes and my username is a palindrome ...
