Thanks again for the helpful feedback! While I agree that there is an issue with terminology being used inconsistently, even discussing with my professor it has been difficult to really determine an exact difference between "codominant" and "incomplete dominant" alleles, unless you actually know the underlying coding sequences involved. Still, in any paper we write we would probably use incomplete dominance to refer to the currently cataloged "co-dominant" mutations. However, we can only publish this work if our dataset is robust and is thoroughly verified (ie every morph we include has been confirmed in inheritance pattern and is confirmed to be distinct from other existing mutants).
