I've nominated biology.stackexchange.com/questions/31285/… for reopening. I edited the question a bit, so it's clearer what the OP is asking about, even if their supposition is incorrect. What do you all think?
Guilty secret revelation time - I've only ever been in Texas on a flight stopover. I got all the info in my answer from the interwebs :) I did know the answer ahead of time, though - Texas is next to Louisiana, after all...
This is my first meta post, so bare with me if this question needs tweaking. I have the following problem which I needed guidance with
Person $P$ carries at least one copy of an autosomal allele of interest. Let $p$ denote the probability that the allele is found at this locus chosen from a r...
@FaheemMitha I seem to recall that there's a different rep threshold for editing on meta. I think that you can't suggest edits on meta posts and can only edit if you have >2k rep (>1k on beta sites).
What do you want to edit? I can do it if you like.
"The alternative approach is to ask the question on one of the sites and hope that either the statisticians over at cross validated have some knowledge in genetics. Or post the question here."
That should probably be one sentence.
"However I was unsure if the community would not appreciate a question where the bulk of the question is probability."
I can't find where the meta-rep limit is documented. I know I can't suggest edits on meta sites where I don't have editing rights on the corresponding main site.
@terdon I thought edit suggestion thresholds were pretty loose. On the main sites, you can typically suggest edits even if not registered. Hence puzzled.
Perhaps your browser doesn't put a red line under your spelling because you don't make mistakes @FaheemMitha ;) - google chrome does it (right now it doesn't like that I didn't capitalise Google...).
so @terdon how much do you want me to resist the urge to upvote you on something so the 7777 goes away? ;)
@GriffinEvo I do see red lines under words quite regularly. Some of the time it is because I have made an error. With dictionary words it produces few or no false positives (i.e. no red lines where there is no error). However, it does occasionally not catch real spelling errors in dictionary words. So, there are false negatives I guess.
However, most of the time I can tell if a word is misspelled by looking at it.
