> In service of this goal @Winston_Ewert, **can you make available to us the results you computed for this study**? In particular, I want like to see the full dependency graph you compute, in all its gory detail. I’m sure you have them in text files somewhere. I’d like a copy of it, with a reasonable README file.

I thought people might like to see it, which is why its available in the supplemental data from the bio-complexity website.

Josh has said pretty much exactly what I would have said.

Yes, that is an important question that will need to be addressed.
