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
