Mutagens

Mutagenics is researchable after Advanced Chemistry, Advanced Glassblowing, Crossbreeding, Viticulture and Gardening -> Herbiculture.

Using a Mutagen

• A mutagen is applied to the left and right splint plants in a greenhouse.
• The mutagen will target a gene on the left splint plant and a gene on the right splint plant and switch them.
• Two child plants are produced. The child plant with the lowest number is the modified left splint plant, the child plant with the highest number is the modified right splint plant.

Example: (See Genomes_and_Phenome_Theories_Links for genome info)

• In the greenhouse, put Vampire Sea Lily in left splint, Fracture Sea Lily in right splint.
• Apply imaginary mutagen crackly,spongy that theoretically switches the two genes which are in bolded type.
  

Left Splint--> IYIYIOIYIOIO (Vampire genome)
Right Splint--> ROYGROYGYORGORGOOO (Fracture genome)

• Two child bulbs result.

Mutagens Discovered

Basic Mutagen info

When applying a mutagen to a plant that is not listed in a subsequent table you can calculate the targeted genes with the left and right target min. and max. percentages applied to the genome lengths (K.s not included).

  Note: substitute 100% by 99.99% to make formulas in the example below work all the time

Example 1 (adventurous use and target % determination)

• we put a plant with length 30 genome in left splint
• we put a plant with length 20 genome in the right splint
• we apply a mutagen with left percentages 10.02-11.52 and right percentages 53.11-55.30
• targeted gene calculation
  • left splint lowest possible impact 10.02 * 30 / 100 + 1 = 4.006, truncated --> 4
  • left splint highest possible impact 11.52 * 30 / 100 + 1 = 4.456, truncated --> 4
  • right splint lowest possible impact 53.11 * 20 / 100 + 1 = 11.622, truncated --> 11
  • right splint highest possible impact 55.30 * 20 / 100 + 1 = 12.060, truncated --> 12
• so the mutagen will target the 4th gene of the left splint plant and the 11th or 12th gene of the right splint plant (looking at the numbers shows a higher probability to hit the 11th)
• we proceed with the experiment and hope to hit the 11th and we are lucky and hit the 11th !!!
• this means we can narrow down the right target max. % as follows: 11 * 100 / 20 = 55.00

Example 2 (planning for a correct hit)

• we want to hit (= replace) the 7th gene of a length 27 genome
• target min. % = (7-1) * 100 / 27 = 22.222
• target max. % = 7 * 100 / 27 = 25.926
• we look at the mutagen table and sort the table on Left target min. %
• mutagens with Left min. % >= 22.23 and Left max. % <= 25.92 are candidates to be goodies
• for each goodie, look at the possibilities of with the Right target values, you will likely find a plant with the genome you want in the perfect spot, especially when using short genomes
• if no goodies found yet (or if you are brave enough to look for other solutions) look at the mutagen table and sort the table on Right target min. %
• mutagens with Right min. % >= 22.23 and Right max. % <= 25.92 are candidates to be goodies
• for each goodie, look at the possibilities of with the Left target values, you will likely find a plant with the genome you want in the perfect spot, especially when using short genomes
