[ECOLOG-L] USDA plant permits
Hello, I was wondering if anybody had recently applied for a USDA plant permit 588 and received permission to ship plant samples directly to their lab. If so, please contact me offline if I can ask you for some advice. Thank you!

[ECOLOG-L] Help with Q value software?
Apologies in advance for multiple postings... In the past, I've used the q value software package to control the false discovery rate when making large number of pairwise comparisons of gene frequencies or Fst values (I am one of those who feel that the typical Bonferroni correction is much too conservative for preliminary surveys). However, I can't get the latest versions of the software to run on any of my computers, MAC OS 10.4.x, 10.5.x, or Windows XP Professional. In every case, the program loads the P values from a text file, but then hangs at the Execute stage. In each case, I believe that I have the correct version of R (the statistical package that supports the Q value calculations) installed and running, with the appropriate interface also. However, I'm no R expert by any means, and I could be making some obvious mistake that I'm not detecting. I would appreciate knowing if there is anyone out there successfully running Q value on machines like mine, and if so, can I get some advice? I have been unable to contact any Q value support groups. Does the LINUX version work better? Thanks to all. Bruce J. Turner Dept. Biol. Sci. VIRGINIA TECH Blacksburg, VA 24061 USA Truth, she lives in a distant land of snow, and ice...
