The clustering properties of galaxies are incompatible with a cosmological model with Ω = 1 unless the formation process for bright galaxies is ‘biased’ in the sense that their resultant distribution exaggerates the amplitude of large-scale inhomogeneities in the overall mass distribution. The mechanisms for such biasing are intimately connected with the nature of the dark matter. Various possibilities are summarised here.
