Gene -> Gene Sets -> Genomes
A gene is a basic physical unit of heredity. A gene in ATITD is expressed as a color. Each color is abbreviated to one letter for ease of use. Example: Yellow or Y
A gene set is one or more genes in a specific sequence that controls a plant's physical characteristics. Example: Green Orange Orange Orange or GOOO which colors an outer petal of a lily one shade of magenta
One or more genes or gene sets form a linear sequence we will call a genome. Example: Vampire Sea Lily genome KIYIYIOIYIOIOK
Genes and their abbreviations:
| Gene Color | Abbreviation | Used In | Not Used In | Comments |
| Black | K | All Plants | Ending/beginning delimiter not technically counted as part of the functioning genome | |
| Blue | U | Orchids, Rose of Ra, Sand Blooms, Sea Lilies | Flax, Grape Vines, Wheat | |
| Green | G | All plants | ||
| Indigo | I | Orchids, Rose of Ra, Sand Blooms, Sea Lilies | Flax, Grape Vines, Wheat | |
| Orange | O | All plants | ||
| Red | R | All plants | ||
| Yellow | Y | All plants | ||
| Violet | V | Sea Lilies | Flax, Grape Vines, Orchids, Rose of Ra, Sand Blooms, Wheat |
