I love living things, esp. when they interact with each other in large groups. Trying to get good at python and R.

How selfish is Dictyostelium slug formation? The answer to your original question, "So my question is: what is the current thought about how cells compete in the mexican hat and stalk formation to be at the top of the pile? Its pretty altruistic of the cells in the stalk to do this - some web pages say they die, is that right?" is that the assignment to the spore part is by lottery. It is very altruistic (in the sense that individuals die in the stalk). As you point out, it seems pretty common for individuals to be very closely related (although chimerism seems possible). |

paralogue genes in genome-wide association studies? Is a Fisher's exact test (a chi-squared test with more relaxed assumptions) something you've considered? |

How are whole Haplotypes for Sequencing isolated? Are you limited to a particular species of fish? Or can you use one of the asexually-reproducing species? |

Terminology question: the scope of an allele in an organism I've also never heard of it. Perhaps it's best to refer to it in the context of the chronology of development (e.g., "the foo mutation happened early in development and is thus prevalent in most cell lineages in the organism")? |

What is the frequency of double-hets between parent and child? I'm a little confused: are the genotypes in the rows representing different loci or just different potential, non AA/AA scenarios of one locus? |
