Modern N-body techniques allow the study of galaxy formation in the wider context of the formation of large-scale structure in the Universe. The results of such a study within the cold dark matter cosmogony are described. Dark galactic halos form at relatively recent epochs. Their properties and abundance are similar to those inferred for the halos of real galaxies. Massive halos tend to form preferentially in high density regions and as a result the galaxies that form within them are significantly more clustered than the underlying mass. This natural bias may be strong enough to reconcile the observed clustering of galaxies with the assumption that Ω = 1.
