Carolyn started this as a whole-genome revisit of the classic 1996 papers on spontaneous nondisjunction from Hawley (Dros X) and Sherman (human 21) labs. She looked at a metacentric (Dros 2) and found that the rules are different - no obvious relationship between ndj and crossovers. Shape matters!

Due to practical reasons, I have RNAseq data where batch is conflated with treatment (ie all treated are in one batch, all untreated in another batch). Can I still do pairwise analyses between treated/untreated groups? I’d love advice on how to handle this analysis- brownie pts if you have a ref!
