Examples
-
If you did it with 5,000 mutants and 5,000 wild-types (enough to detect a selective advantage as small as 0.005%) and saw changes in allele frequency compatible with drift, people would definitely stand up and take notice.
-
Release a large colony of mice consisting of 50% mutant mice and 50% wild-types, and then use a capture-genotype-release strategy to monitor the frequency of the deletion allele over a long period of time (two to five years – i.e. one funding cycle).
