Over 300 vertebrates, including monkeys, flamingoes and male sheep, practice homosexual behavior.

...ee choice, was called the "subject." The subject's payoffs were determined by a Prisoner's Dilemma game, a well-known game used in studies of cooperation. When the stooge reciprocated and food pellets were allowed to accumulate in view of the subject for several rounds of play, the subject cooperated.

Through the Genomes to Life program, researchers hope to identify and characterize protein complexes, the molecular machines of life.

The payoffs for the project should be well worth the huge commitments of money and research time, Simpson said. "It should have tremendous therapeutic implications.
