Guide to Genetics: Difference between revisions

So you've come across a [[husk]] (a grey corpse) on your floor, which means you can't clone that poor sod without upgrades. Before you go throwing that body in the morgue, they can still be helped!

#First off, make sure it's a husk. Throw the body into a DNA Scanner, if it says ''Subject no longer contains the fundamental materials required to create a living clone'', then you have yourself a husk (if your DNA Scanner had been [[Guide_to_advanced_construction#DNA_Scanner|updated]] to the max by the Scientists, you could clone the husk right now. So if you know they've been doing their R&D, ask them).

#Take the body down to [[Surgery]].

#Pester the CMO or a Medical Doctor to extract the brain, or do it yourself.

#Put the brain in the DNA scanner like you would a body.

*If the scanner does not have an occupant, click "Transfer (Delayed)" to copy the genes of the buffer to the next person who steps into the scanner and closes it.

*Click "Print" to print a DNA injector containing the genes of the saved buffer. Injecting this into a person will transfer the UE, UI or both to that person. Unlike mutation [[#Activators_and_Injectors|injectors and activators]] however, these DNA injectors are not permanent, and will only last for a short while after injected.

===Genetic Sequencer===

In the DNA scanner access console there is a tab named "Sequencer". Here you will alter genes to find mutations. There are '''four''' types of blocks: A, T, C and G. Each pair of letters in the boxes are connected. '''A goes with T, and G goes with C.''' Order does not matter. Each pair has a correct combination of "AT, TG, CG or GC" that needs to be filled. If you see an unmodified pair be X-T it means the right combination of that pair is A-T. When all 16 pairs have the right blocks, the mutation will activate and you will be able to store it. Monkeys can only have the "monkified" mutation unless [[#Humanizing_a_Monkey|humanized]]. Once you have found the name of a mutation, that mutation will be permanently identified in all DNA scanner access consoles. <br>

You can use your Genetic Sequence Scanner [[File:Gene_scanner.gif]] on a DNA scanner access console to permanently sync the item, which makes you see the names of discovered mutations when scanning people with it.<br>

More info about some of the other tabs can be found in the [[#Guide_to_finding_and_using_mutations|guide further below]].

===Finding and Using Mutations===

This guide here shows you step by step how to find the powers from the mysterious blocks! All mutations are randomized every round.

*Shove them into the '''DNA Scanner'''.

====Humanizing a Monkey====

Always humanize your monkey first, or their powers won't work.

#You and your buddy share the mutations you've discovered, work together to discover them all.

#When you get it, you'll see the name on the top has changed from "monkey" to a randomly generated name. Congratulations, you've got your very own monkey-person!

#[[Guide_to_chemistry#Mutadone|Mutadone]] will also clear the "monkified" mutation from monkeys, instantly turning them human. Use a dropper set to 1u to squirt dissolved [[Guide_to_chemistry#Mutadone|mutadone]] into the eyes of monkeys to humanize them without needing any machinery.

====Manifesting Mutations====

Back to business! Now we'll try to make a mutation show itself to us:

#If it didn't work, you may have messed up somewhere. Double check and also make sure they're not still a monkey. If all else fails, move on to another mutation or scramble their DNA.

====Scramble DNA ====

====[[File:Dnainjector.png]] Activators and Injectors====

*'''Activators:''' An activator will permanently activate the specific mutation in a person who already has the mutation dormant as shown with a Genetic Sequence Scanner [[File:Gene_scanner.gif]]. For example, since all humans have the "monkified" mutation dormant in them, a "monkified" activator will always work on humans. Using an activator will not increase genetic instability. Used activators can be recycled into the DNA scanner access console to produce chromosomes.

*'''Injectors:''' An injector will permanently manifest a mutation in a person, regardless of if that person has that mutation dormant or not. This may cause genetic instability.

====[[File:Dnainjector.png]] Advanced Injectors====

After discovering one or more mutations, you have the option to create advanced injectors. Advanced injectors will let you save multiple mutations in a single injector. The amount of mutations in a single "save" is limited to 50 instability or 10 mutations. Unlike activators or ordinary injectors, these can be named anything you want. To create an advanced injector, do the following:

====Against the Radiation====

All that radiation pulsing is not healthy.

When you manifest a power, you may get a message like "It feels like your skin is moving." This is telling you that your genetic instability has gotten higher, and you'll need to be careful not to add too many more powers. All humans can withstand up to '''99 genetic instability''' before they start to bubble and melt. 100 instability would be too much. Negative mutations generally don't give you instability, but powers do. As a rule of thumb, the stronger the power, the more instability it gives. Choose your powers wisely. You can refer to the previous table as a guide on how much instability each mutation gives.

====Chromosome 21====

These are the currently available chromosomes you can get:
