So, what leads you to believe this is a dominant trait? I've looked all around and that seems to be the consensus but no one seems to be able to say why.

I've run this by an old friend of mine who is the lab director for the University of Massachuesitts Medical School and got his PHD in worm genetics. I included Rich Ihle's article from the journal of heredity along with all the info I had.

His opinion, based on the info at hand, was that this was a codominant trait (in fact it might be more accurately termed haploinsufficiency rather than codominance or incomplete dominance).

So I'm just curious what evidence points to this trait being a dominant one?
