Update 3/14

Today was productive! Alex and Nick discussed the code and runs, and Emily and Sara discussed the experimental design with Ian.

Updates to the experimental design:
1. Threshold loss: "Loss" is now defined as the point when 95% of the population no longer has the signaling genes. This is to combat a small number of signalers hanging out but the population as a whole losing the signal much earlier.

2. Runs will be at least 2500 and intended to measure the effect of linkage and population size on signal loss. Check my math.
genotype (2; linked or unlinked) X percentage of guaranteed success of signal (5; 100%, 75, 50, 25, 0%) X population size (5; 200%, 100, 50, 25, 10%) X runs (50) =2500
