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.

*Structural Enzymes/Genetic Sequence = '''Your mutations'''. They contain data relevant to your genetic structure. This governs your race and mutations. The term "Structural Enzymes" is no longer used by the DNA scanner access console since it was replaced with "Genetic Sequence" (which is the same thing), but the term may still show up elsewhere.

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 a 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.

Before we start splicing, you must know what possible monstrosities can be done to a human. Some mutations are incompatible with each others in a subject.

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.

#Click through the mutations until you find "Monkified". Then break a random pair by changing a letter to X.

#If for any reason you got yourself some bad mutations and have no one to remove them, grab the [[Guide_to_chemistry#Mutadone|mutadone]] pill bottle in your lab. You usually have several 50u pills available. If you want to make a pill last, dissolve a pill by pouring a tiny amount of water into a beaker (by using the beaker on a sink once), then drop a pill of [[Guide_to_chemistry#Mutadone|mutadone]] into it and take a sip. It should instantly clear all your mutations, unless your mutations have [[#Chromosome_21|reinforcement chromosomes]].

Clicking the Scramble DNA tab will blast the subject with radiation, and randomize which discoverable mutations it has.

After manifesting a mutation in the Genetic Sequencer tab, hit store to save it to the "Mutations" tab. You can print activators and injectors from both the Genetic Sequencer and the Mutations tab.

#Go to the "Adv. Injectors" tab. Click "New Selection" and choose a name to create a new slot for mutations to be stored in.

#Go to the "Genetic Sequencer" tab and click on a discovered and active mutation. You can not use mutations from the "Mutations" tab.

#Click "The Adv. Injector" button near the bottom. Select the name of the slot you made in step 1. Repeat with any other mutations you wish to save to the same slot.

#Go back to the "Adv. Injectors". Click Print Advanced Injector. You will print an injector with the name you chose.

Every time you successfully use an ACTIVATOR on another person, the activator becomes filled with genetic data. Recycle/use it on your DNA console to gain a random chromosome from it. The chromosome either appears as an item on top of the DNA console, or it gets stored in its "mutations" tab. Up to 5 chromosomes can be stored in a single DNA console. Clicking on the last chromosome in the ''mutations'' tab will eject it into its physical form. Physical chromosomes can only be used by inserting them into a DNA console.

Each active mutation in a person has a single chromosome slot. You can only add chromosomes to people who are inside the connected DNA scanner. Do so by opening the ''Genetic Sequencer'' tab. Then click an active mutation, or [[#Manifesting_Mutations|find one]] if none is active yet. You should see the line ''Chromosome status:'' and a clickable "----"-button. Click that button. If that mutation is compatible with any of the currently stored chromosomes, you will get a list where you can select that chromosome. Select it, and you have now filled that mutation's chromosome slot. To delete the chromosome from that slot, you can deactivate and reactivate the mutation by turning any letter to X and then back.

After you have added a chromosome to a mutation, you can ''store'' it to the ''mutations'' tab as normal (by clicking ''store'' in the ''Genetic Sequencer'' tab). Mutations from mutators/activators printed from this stored entry will then contain that chromosome.
