Guide to Genetics: Difference between revisions

*Unique Enzymes (UE) = '''Your name'''. Even if you mutate the UE it will have no effect on the name. What you can do however, is to transfer UE from one person to another, copying their name.

*Unique Identifiers (UI) = '''Your cosmetic details''' - eye color, skin color, hair style, hair color and gender. <br>

In the DNA scanner access console there is a tab named "Unique Identifiers". This tab can be used to copy both UE and UI between people.  

* Click "Save to Buffer" to save a person's UE + UI to the console. '''You cannot save mutations this way'''.

* Click "Occupant" to copy the genes of the buffer to whoever is inside the scanner. You can choose between UE, UI and UE+UI.

* Click "Occupant: Delayed" to copy the genes of the buffer to the next person who steps into the scanner and closes it (such as yourself).

*Click "Injector" to print a DNA injector containing the genes of the saved buffer. Injecting this into a person will transfer the UE, UI or UE+UI 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.

In the DNA scanner access console there is a tab named "Genetic 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>

The more difficult mutations will have a lot of unknown (X-X) pairs. You cannot just randomly enter A-T, since it's predetermined what it's supposed to be. Knowing all this, you could whip out the genetic sequence scanner [[File:Gene_scanner.gif]] from your pocket. If you're looking for the correct pairs of mutation 39, scan people until you find a person with mutation 39. Then use the scanner in your hand for a menu to pop up. In the menu, select "mutation 39". This gives you a reading which will likely give you more information about which pairs you need to finish mutation 39.

===Guide to finding and using mutations===

This guide here shows you step by step how to find the powers from the mysterious blocks!

Genes are distorted and twisted by shooting them with radiation. This can be done with the DNA Scanner Access Console and the computer in your lab.

*Shove them into a '''DNA Scanner''' next to the pen.

*Check the '''console''' next to it, you'll see a bunch of option and information. Find ''Genetic Sequence''.

All mutations are randomized every round.
