ITS THE SPECIAL CLONES THAT ARE THE MARKERS THAT SHOW the greatest differences between genotype group averages,,,,,,,they actualy have a "special" coding, that makes "special" protine an thus a special phenotype,,,,,,,an it differs from the others in the same line.....

That other thread was very good, helped me understand more of what has been discussed here too.
As a slight aside from the main topic, I find it interesting that Cheese x Psychosis would be an identical cross to Psychosis x Cheese.. I know you mentioned in PM rick that you would be tempted to try both ways around, seems there is no point..
