Marty, 
If you read the association file format info they talk about MUTANTS - so I
was assuming it did not include naturally occuring alleles - and I wished to
be clear if  PO is making a distinction between say diversity alleles as
from the Panzea project, and those that were induced to perturb the system.

So, the question reqmains - are we? Either way works for me,
