Lesson 2 Log

This was the log for Lesson 2 Sea Lily Genome Theory


GOO Guide to Genetics Lesson 2

Dreasimy: ~~~Welcome Everyone to our 2nd installment of the GOO Guide to Genetics :D Ariella has created a lesson plan and this is the 2nd installment. You can get more info about what to read and what homework to perform ahead of all of the classes here:~~~
Dreasimy: http://www.atitd.org/wiki/tale4/GOO_Events/Lesson_GOO_Guide
Dreasimy: After each lesson Ill be posting a log for future reference :D
Dreasimy: Welcome Ariella, I'm excited about todays class :D
Ariella: Hi y'all :)
Ariella: Okay, ready to think flowery
Ariella: http://www.atitd.org/wiki/tale4/Flower_Genome_Theories#Sea_Lily_Genome_Theory
Orrin: Miss! My otter ate my flowers!
Orrin: I made them, honest I did!
Ariella: In case y'all don't have the page on paper
AliceBlue: hi :-)
Ariella: yeah right ;)  In the corner of the cliff Orrin 
Orrin: Awwww! Miss!
Ariella: We'll do a little reveiw just to make sure you remember a few things.
Ariella: What are the primary colors?  cyan, magenta, yellow
Ariella: and the answer was not supposed to be there lol but...so those are the primary colors
Ariella: What are the secondary colors?
Orrin: No black? Or is that formed by a combination?
Ariella: that is formed by a combination which we'll get into that later
Orrin: OK ty :)
Ariella: Can anyone tell us what the secondary colors are?  there are 3
Dreasimy: green blue indigo and violet? (cheats by looking at Genetics for dummies)
Ariella: lol okay, close. you got two so you get a B
Ariella: They are green blue and red
Ariella: What makes each of those colors?  What combinations of primary colors make each of those 3 secondary colors?
Dreasimy: well yellow and cyane make green but Im confuzzled on the other 2
Ariella: Those do make cyan.  Anyone know the combos for the other two secondary colors?  Try and guess intuitively too
Rania: i thought cyan was blue so really confussed
Ariella: Those do make green, sorry
Ariella: It is confusing because you're used to kindergarten and learning the primary colors.  But computers are not the same.  
Ariella: Cyan looks blue yes.
Ariella: Magenta and cyan makes blue
Ariella: Magenta and yellow makes red.
Rania: magenta looks red right ?
Ariella: And cyan and yellow makes green
Ariella: Remember ther RGB screens?  red, green, blue
Rania: maybe i need computor 101 before this 
Ariella: These primary and secondary colors are used in the flowers and you need to remember those.
hitoriki: easyest way to remember for me is thinking about how a printer works and gets his colours 
Ariella: How many shades of a single color can there be to make the deepest shade?
Ariella: yes, excellent hitoriki :)
hitoriki: i think it was 4 not sure tho
AliceBlue: cayan = aqua and magenta = fuschia
Ariella: For egypt color rendering on flowers cyan is a primary and not made up of other colors
Ariella: technicaly that is correct alice 
Ariella: Now let's go to lily genomes themselves
Ariella: http://www.atitd.org/wiki/tale4/Genomes
AliceBlue: have you ever made an aqua (cyan) flower Ariella?
AliceBlue: and when you say deepest shade do you mean out to the primary?
Orrin: Technically, CMYK is another way of looking at colour instead of RGB.
Rania: so Bluch is magenta
Tunnen: It's additive vs subtractive colour....  link to follow with picture, for those that care
Tunnen: http://ian-albert.com/graphics/addsubcolor.php
Ariella: How many genes long is the Clarity genome?
Ariella: I have made a cyan flower yes.  But if you look at the lily genomes there are less gene sets in lilies for cyan so harder to get the correct genes assembled.
GiausBaltar: I count 12...
Rania: clarity is 36
Ariella: Deepest shade as in...if you build a purely magenta shade 1 flower then a shade 2 and so on.
Ariella: yes, additive vs subtractive, but that is technical.  For what you need to do advanced cross breeding you can get along fine with knowing the 3 primary and secondary for now. But it is interesting reading.
Ariella: yes Clarity is 36 genes
Ariella: Which sea lily has the shortest genome and how many genes is that genome?  Maybe someone who hasn't answered yet?   
Ariella: http://www.atitd.org/wiki/tale4/Flower_Genome_Theories#Sea_Lily_Genome_Theory
Ariella: It's okay to cheat and look ;)
Ariella: oops, sorry wrong page
Ariella: http://www.atitd.org/wiki/tale4/Genomes
Crestalina: vampire = 12
Ariella: yes :)
Ariella: Which sea lily has the longest genome and how many genes is that genome?
Rania: that we have?
Ariella: Yes, of the original bulbs from UWorship
Rania: dusk has longest but we dont have that lily
Ariella: this tale
Rania: then morning at 44
Ariella: Dusk was the longest last tale yes.  But which from this tale?
Ariella: right :)
Ariella: Which lilies have one or more 'V' genes in them? 
Rania: guessing fracture
Ariella: Don't be shy y'all those haven't answered.  Throw out some answers
Ariella: Not Fracture, no.
Crestalina: bluss, crown energy ;-)
Ariella: Take a look at the Genomes page again.
AliceBlue: why are they grouped ion different amounts?
Ariella: Right (and it's Blush)
Crestalina: lol
Ariella: What does the 'V' gene control in a sea lily? 
Rania: amount of ferts?
Ariella: Grouped in different amounts where?
AliceBlue: like energy has 5 lots of V each end and eight groups of four in between
Ariella: Yes, V is a gene set by itself.  One V gene lowers the flower fertilization rate by 2 normal flower fertilizations or 1 sticky sun fertilization.
AliceBlue: gene sets have different amounts of letters in them, why is that?
Pascalito: The groups of V's are irrelevant
Ariella: Because that's how the dev decided to group them in Energy.  Vs are single gene sets by themselves so it has no relevance whether they are scattered in a genome or packed together.
Rania: lost again
Pascalito: Alice, again a decision made by the devs
Ariella: Alice have you programmed?
AliceBlue: no programming no
Rania: if V makes less ferts and blush has most V then why does energy take less fert
AliceBlue: ok dev thing
Pascalito: Energy has most Vs
Ariella: okay, probably you know what a command is in programming?

<<<oops missed some of this chat in my log, sorry>>>

AliceBlue: does Silken have only one gene set? 
Ariella: So we saw that the max for Vs to lessen fertilization is 12.
Crestalina: after 12 it dosent matter anymore
Pascalito: Silken has no gene sets at all, poor thing, does not speak our language i guess ;-)
Ariella: Silken has no gene sets.  It's like a pot of alphabet soup that makes it nice for mutagen building later.
Pascalito: tht is why Silken is white and regular size and 48 ferts
AliceBlue: the wiki is a little confusing because it talks about the genomes separating into gene sets
Ariella: What is the default number of regular fertilizations a sea lily has if it has no 'V' genes? 
Crestalina: 48
AliceBlue: so how are sets defined, if not by the grouping of the letters?
Rania: and what are the different sets?
Ariella: Alicewehadtofigureoutwhatthegenesetswereineachgenome.
AliceBlue: heheheheh
Ariella: That make it easier?  heehee
Ariella: We'll be getting into the different sea lily gene sets in a bit.
Ariella: How many fertilizations of sticky sun would equal that 48 of regular fertilizer?
Rania: 24
Ariella: good :)
Ariella: So it cuts the split time in half.
Rania: you would think lol
Ariella: How many regular fertilizations does Blush have?
Ariella: and why?
Rania: still takes FOREVER
Ariella: Sticky sun fert cuts ferting in half.
Ariella: lol yes it does ;)
Rania: 26 and because of the V genes?
Ariella: That is the length of the genome.
GiausBaltar: 38...  48 ferts - 10 (from 5 V genes) = 36
Rania: ooops 38 and still the V genes
Ariella: Another try?
Ariella: yes giaus :)
Crestalina: 38 because of 5 V ( 1V is minus 2 Fert, so 5X 2 = 10 less)
Ariella: What gene do you see at the beginning and end of each genome?
GiausBaltar: err... = 38 at the end, not 36
Rania: K = Black
Ariella: good :)  Rania, you kept me from asking the whole name of that gene ;)
Ariella: Since there are two gene names that start with the same letter it was decided to use K for Black and U for Blue.
Ariella: The K (Black) gene always starts and ends a genome.
Ariella: When counting the number of genes we never count the K gene.  Think of it like parenthesis around the genome (IOIOIYIOIYIY) Vampire sea lily.  
Ariella: Now for a second of review.
Ariella: http://www.atitd.org/wiki/tale4/Genetics_for_Dummies
Ariella: What gene name does V stand for?
GiausBaltar: Can the K gene still be mutated into the middle of a genome?
Rania: violet ?
Ariella: No the K gene cannot be moved anywhere else in a genome.  Unless there's a bug ;)
Ariella: Yes, violet :)
Ariella: Gene names happen to be the names of colors.  DO NOT get those color gene names mixed up with the colors that show on a flower.  Gene sets (groups of genes) control size, color, number of flax, etc on a plant. 
Pascalito: Look at the K as just an indicator of the ends, not as a physically existing gene
Rania: but violet is not a color just the name of gene right
Ariella: Reveiw over...time to get a little more advanced.

<<<Meh sorry did it again, this is scrolling faster than I thought>>>

Ariella: http://www.atitd.org/wiki/tale4/Advanced_Crossbreeding
Ariella: Yes, violet is a name of a gene with no meaning of color in this application.
Ariella: First, did anyone have trouble naming your baby flower at a UWorship?
Dreasimy: ya I forgot to get seed registry! :D thought I had it already, then I had to come up with a nifty name, I picked Pointedly Purple and Frangrant Hot Tub ;D
Ariella: Those of you being very quiet feel free to throw in questions :)
Rania: i had trouble too ........ getting there
Ariella: That is cool Dreasimy!  lol   I love naming.  My sweet hubby let's me do the renaming. Numbers don't cut it ;)
Ariella: Let's start with the first homework cross...Clarity/Vampire. Notice the syntax I use...Clarity is Left Splint and Vampire is Right Splint plant.  It is essential you record your crosses. 
AliceBlue: this one is so cool I got AliceBluepetals
Ariella: How many genes are in the Clarity genome?
Dreasimy: 36?
Ariella: yep
Ariella: How many genes are in the Vampire genome?
Rania: 12
Ariella: To know how long a child flower or plant will be you add those two numbers.  Then divide by 2 to get the average.  Lastly, if the resulting answer is not an integer (a whole number like 3) but it is a fraction like 23.5 then round up to the next whole number or for this example 24.  You now know the genome length of your child flower. 
Ariella: So for the first cross the child flower length is...?
Dreasimy: 24
Ariella: how did you get that?
Dreasimy: erm by 36 (clarity) plus 12 (vampire) = 48 divide by 2 = 24 (I think....)
Ariella: lol yes :) perfect
Rania: what i got too
Dreasimy: phew
Ariella: Someone tell me what the second homework cross child flower genome length would be and how you got it?
Rania: 27 ?
Dreasimy: Rania didn't show her work! <whines>
Ariella: yes and how did you get it?
Ariella: Dreasimy, please raise your hand first if you are going to tattle.
Rania: 36 + 18= 54 divided by 2 is 27
Ariella: Or you might have to sit with Orrin.
Dreasimy: <gulp>
Ariella: Perfect :)
Rania: i want to sit with Orrin
Ariella: There are two exceptions to this.
Orrin: Hello! :D
Ariella: You'll learn in a little while that there is a splice point where the two plant genomes from the Left and Right Splint plants are truncated and put together or spliced.  At that point a gene can be deleted or it can be duplicated and added in, thus either shortening or lengthening a genome by 1. Now take a look at your first cross, the Clarity/Vampire cross and go to the flower theory page. 
Ariella: wonders why but is NOT going to ask ;)
Ariella: So we are all good with understanding how long the child flower genome is?
Ariella: Then let's go back to the flower theory page.
Ariella: http://www.atitd.org/wiki/tale4/Flower_Genome_Theories#Sea_Lily_Genome_Theory
Ariella: Keep in mind the primary and secondary colors on flowers.  
Ariella: At the first portion of the Sea Lily Genome Theory you'll see that the genomes of each sea lily have been broken into gene sets. 
Ariella: I think Alice was asking why we did this.  I only put it on the theory page where it explains exactly what gene sets control.
Ariella: What properties can gene sets control in plants, not just flowers?  One person at a time please say one property and different people speak up.
Dreasimy: Inner west petal set?
Ariella: Tunnen you've been working with wheat.  What is something a gene set controls in wheat?
Crestalina: how many flax you get 
Ariella: yes dreasimy :)
Ariella: color in that petal set.
Tunnen: EEp, pop quiz?  I wasn't ready for this =P
Ariella: yes crestalina :)
Ariella: lol too bad, answer up or sit with Orrin.
hitoriki: size of the flower tiny or huge :-)
Tunnen: GR seems to increase wheat yeild output..
Ariella: size in flowers is one thing
Ariella: fertiliztion rate as you've found out.
Orrin: Hey now! that's not fair!
Ariella: number of grapes in vines
Ariella: orrin, if you can think of a control you get out of the corner ;)
Tunnen: ORRGY or ORRGYU seems to be required to grow on sand....  but there are some further tests I still need to do
Ariella: type of soil wheat is grown in
Orrin: haha... ORGY... Hahaha
Ariella: amount of sugar each tend gives
Tunnen: To grow on dirt, it looks like you need at least 1 GR and a RY, again... more testing needed.
Ariella: haha
AliceBlue: seeds from flax
Ariella: places dunce cap on Orrin
Ariella: yes alice and Tunnen
Rania: Orrin give me back the dunce hat!!
Ariella: number of waterings in flax
Tunnen: and Grass seems to have something to do with the are around the OYOY set...  I was about to work on that next, before taking a wheat break to work on my Funeray Temple
Orrin: yay! It has pretty flowers on it :D
Orrin: I grew 10k wheat, I shant touch it again this tale.
Ariella: Someone name a gene set...even if you don't know what it does yet.
Ariella: Excellent Tunnen!  Thanks.  That is how we have to start thinking when we first see how to even progress on a new genome type.
Tunnen: isn't ROYG one...
Rania: gror?
AliceBlue: my hubby said gror ought to be grow :-)
Ariella: sure is :)  Tunnen ROYG makes a lily a giant
Ariella: yes rania :)
Tunnen: I'm also betting clay has something to do with the KKK area....  but we'll know in a few days...  I should hopefully get back into some last min wheat testing this season, and a bunch at the start of the next season.
Ariella: The next area of the Sea Lily Genome Theory is getting you ready to know how gene sets are arranged.  There are three components in sea lilies that gene sets control...color, size, fertilization rate.
Ariella: Gene sets controlling color in sea lily petals are always 4 genes long.  The first gene in the set of 4 codes whether the outer or inner petals will be colored.  The following three genes control what color will be used on that petal set. 
Ariella: There are four different petal sets.  Two outer and two inner.  Look at Crown when you have time.  You'll see that three alternating petals are colored the same.  
Ariella: The two outer petal sets begin their gene set with G.  On the Flower Gene Sets page you'll see that we notate it as Gxxx.  The gene set that colors petals in sea lilies is always 4 genes long, if you remember.  The two inner petal sets begin their gene set with U and the entire gene set is notated as Uxxx. 
Ariella: The two outer petal gene sets are coded as Gxxx and Gxyz where the xxx are the same color gene (like GOOO or GYYY or GRRR) and xyz (like GROR or GORR or GRRO).  The two inner petal sets are similar.  Either Uxxx or Uxyz.   
Ariella: Is your mind boggled yet?  Any questions?
Dreasimy: When 2 peple do the exact same cross as we all who did our homework allegedly did, should they all be the same or does something random happen too, i.e. are there lots of my Pointedly Purple out there now named other things? :D
Dreasimy: my flower is all white I think except the inner circle is purple, darker purple than blush's purple
Dreasimy: and it's normal sized
Ariella: Excellent question.
AliceBlue: less boggled now than before the class, but still a bit boggled
Ariella: This is what advanced cross breeding is to find out.  The simple answer is that something random happens.
Ariella: lol Alice
Ariella: Yes you can get the exact same child genome as others but there are quite some other possible genomes.  
Ariella: We'll get to that in a minute.
Dreasimy: cool
Rania: is there a page written that has the different gene sets for us to look at in future?
Ariella: Stamens. 
Ariella: This seems to be the most confusing concept.  Gene sets for this are Ix, Ixx and Ixxx possibilities.  'x' only represents the 3 possible primary color genes.  AND REMEMBER THAT A GENE NAME DOES NOT MEAN THAT COLOR IS WHAT IS ON THE LILY.  It's only a gene name.  Unfortunate choice.  The lily stamen has 3 parts to it (it sort of looks like 4 but it isn't), the outer (top portion), middle and inner (the very bottom portion).  Ix colors the outer stamen.  Ixx colors the outer and middle stamen.  Ixxx colors the outer, middle and inner stamen.  
Ariella: Run to a flower
Ariella: That itty bitty tip on top is part of the outer stamen.  Had that question a million times so I'll answer it now.
Ariella: Example: Ix and Ixxx in one genome would color the outer stamen shade two and the middle and inner stamen shade 1.  Everyone get that? 
Dreasimy: sorry I dont :D trying tho :D
Ariella: Or let's put in a gene from the Color Key, say O gene controls magenta.
AliceBlue: the little x are a bit confusing
Dreasimy: if only my Ix has color (my outer stamen) then that means only my Ix has color and my Ix and Ixx have none cuz they wer white?
Ariella: If a genome had both IO and IOOO then IO controls the outer stamen (the topmost region)
Pascalito: cause the "word"or gene set IO is in there twice it is shade 2
Ariella: You're familiar with algebra?  Ix for stamens and Gxxx for outer petals and Uxxx for inner petals.
Ariella: I'm calling your attention to the first letter of the gene set.
Rania: x means unknown ?
Pascalito: in a way, it can have different values
Ariella: If there was only a G or only a U or only an I it would not be a controlling code or gene set.
Rania: and ppls want to know if this is chat is being logged
Ariella: x means that any of the genes in the color code can be inserted.
Dreasimy: yes it's being logged (tho I have missed a few parts, it scrolled a little faster than I expected at times) but yes :D
Ariella: I should be able to fill in missing parts.
Ariella: So FIRST notice on flower gene sets the first gene. 
Ariella: So you know what part of the flower that gene set controls.
Ariella: Does that help?
Tulani: So is this right: you can only colour the inner stamen the same colour as the outer stamen, and you cannot colour the inner without also adding a shade to the outer?
Pascalito: you could make a complete list of all existing gene sets (words, strings that mean something), but using the xxx or xyz notation makes it more compact
Ariella: yes tulani :)
Ariella: yes on gene set that is true.
Ariella: Think of gene sets as magic words that make things happen.
Pascalito: inner and outer can be different, but inner is always a subset of the outer stamen colors
AliceBlue: I have a colour on the outer and middle but not the inner
Pascalito: in other words, outer stamen can have only more colors on it, not less than inner stamen
Rania: same
Ariella: the only genes that come after the I or G or U that makes things happen are O for magenta, Y for Yellow (only coincidence the gene name and color matches in lilies), and R for cyan.
Dreasimy: I think I just have it on the outer, which is the tippy top AND the part below that right?>
Pascalito: yes Dreasimy :)
Ariella: Now visually you will be able to see a different color on outer and middle and inner stamen.
Ariella: Now visually you will be able to see a different color on outer and middle and inner stamen.
Ariella: In this first cross I think only with an added (duplicated) gene at the splice point will it be possible to see a color on the middle stamen.  But it's good you're thinking this way.
Ariella: Two different issues are working here.  I was explaining single gene sets and what they do.
Ariella: IO.  I for the stamen.  Ix.  x=O in this example.  IO only one O so only the outer stamen is colored.  and the O is magic for coloring a lily magenta.
AliceBlue: So Dreasimy and I have an I XX?
AliceBlue: where x is a something
Ariella: IOO.  Ixx in this example x = O.  I for stamen control.  OO for coloring both outer and middle stamen magenta. 
Pascalito: if you are sure the middle stamen is colored, yes
AliceBlue: right
Dreasimy: only my outer one is so Im IO?
Pascalito: Dreasimy said only outer stamen has color, Rania said middle i think
AliceBlue: an IOO and if all parts of the stamen have colours an IOOO set
Ariella: IOOO. Ixxx in this example x still equals O.  I for stamen control. OOO for coloring all the stamen, outer, middle, and inner magenta.
Rania: i have outer colored and middle colored
AliceBlue: tip and middle with colour, iinner no colour
Ariella: What color is the middle stamen?
Ariella: I think it can only be yellow for that first cross.
AliceBlue: gray (lol)
Pascalito: ok, which is possible indeed for this cross, though rather exceptional :)
Rania: mine is purple so would be O
Ariella: hmm, that would be impossible.
Ariella: so maybe you are seeing only the outer stamen
Pascalito: middle stamen cannot be gray on this cross, you probably still see the outer stamen there
Ariella: Now let's get into the other factor about stamens.  
Pascalito: remember, outer stamen is 2 upper parts together
Dreasimy: The stamen sounds like a 4 tiered cake, bottom tier is inner, middle tier is middle and the top 2 teirs (which include just a pointy thing sticking up) is outer
Rania: let me doulbe check wiki on stamen
AliceBlue: oops confused about inner and outer
Ariella: You'll see on both Clarity and Vampire that we have stamen gene sets with three different colors.  Sorry, Vampire has two colors included on their stamen gene sets.
AliceBlue: aw so I only have an IO gene set
Ariella: exactly, Dreasimy :)
Pascalito: no Alice, you sure can have more than just IO
Ariella: Layering.
Rania: ok i was wrong too
Rania: only color on outer
Ariella: This can happen in petals, leaves, whatever part of the flower can be colored.
Ariella: IO would color outer stamen magenta.  IY would color outer stamen yellow.  Put that together and you get a secondary color...red.  For Vampire :)
Ariella: and you will notice that Vampire has 3 gene sets of IO and IY making the outer stamen shade 3 red or Red3 as we abbreviate it.
Rania: ok question
Dreasimy: what color is blush's outer stamen naturally? cuz mine is darker than that and Im confused wht to call it :D
Ariella: Black on the screen is usually seen as grey until it hits shade 4.
Rania: mine has just the outer stamen colored  so i have IO xx?
Pascalito: Blush outer is Mag3
AliceBlue: the cross has exactly the same as clarity, so I have the set IRIR IO IO IY IY?
Ariella: Rania, you might have more than one IO
Pascalito: yes Alice, very possible !
AliceBlue: ty

<<<Missed out some content here, sorry>>>

AliceBlue: if it were lighter gray would it be IR IO IY?
Ariella: It has black (gray) petals and outer stamen.
AliceBlue: yes :-)
Ariella: Does that make sense now?
Pascalito: indeed AliceBlue
Pascalito: and if you ever wanna see a true black (shade 4), visit us in HG :)
AliceBlue: sure will yes!
Ariella: Everyone catching on?
Dreasimy: so if blush is mag3 I think mine is mag4 since mine is a darker purpley
Dreasimy: and the middle one has no color to further affect my outer? <hopes she is catching on>
Ariella: not necessarily Dreasimy.  You might have a cyan IR in there.
Pascalito: could very well be Dreasimy
Dreasimy: okie
Ariella: Last thing on gene sets.
Rania: mine is a "dirty purple"
Ariella: Size.  ROYG in the genome makes a lily a giant.  GYOR makes it a dwarf.  If you have two ROYGs and one GYOR in a lily they cancel each other out and you get a normal size lily.  Which lily does that?
Ariella: yes, dirty is black underneath :)
Rania: fracture?
Ariella: yes :)
Pascalito: yes Rania, probably due to grey base in it
Ariella: Back to the advanced cross breeding
Ariella: http://www.atitd.org/wiki/tale4/Advanced_Crossbreeding
Ariella: YOu guys need a potty break or anything?
Ariella: I guess I'll let Orrin out of the corner.  He's behaved very well.
Dreasimy: The mod could use a very brief break :D like 3 minutes
Pascalito: We're getting scared about the bill for extra broadcasting time...
Ariella: Okay, 5 min break....if you're late break you get demerits.
Dreasimy: hehe
Dreasimy: Mod is back, fyi :D
Rania: me too
Rania: watch the teacher be late lol
Orrin: *has been trying to make and drink beer in the corner*
Pascalito: the assistant is back
Ariella: oh oops, lol I'm back
Rania: no apple for teacher she is late
Ariella: everyone back?  I know this is a long session.  But it will be easier on the other flowers.
Ariella: awww, I love apples :(
Ariella: The first cross you made was Clarity/Vampire...Clarity Left Splint and Vampire Right Splint.  You should have recorded that and made very sure that you put them in the correct splints. 
Ariella: Someone put the Clarity genome here...without the beginning and ending Ks.
Dreasimy: I feel 96.7 percent sure I did that ;)
Dreasimy: IRIR IOIO IYIY GORR GROR GRRO GORR GROR GRRO 
Ariella: Someone put the Vampire genome here.
Dreasimy:  IY IY IO IY IO IO  
Dreasimy: (I tried to wait for someone else, they are being shy!)
Ariella: Try and use Notepad or if using a wiki page indent one space.  Indenting one space on the wiki will give a non true type font so that each alphanumeric character is spaced the same and the genomes will line up under each other.  Or you can just use a piece of paper but line up the letters. 
Orrin: This is one occasion where I would recommend the use of a spreadsheet for non-numerical work
Ariella: this is the very cool part of understanding cross breeding. The letters of the genes need to line up under each other.  So just grab a paper and pencil.
Ariella: So put the Left Splint genome on one line (Clarity) and the Left Splint genome under the that.  
Ariella: Next...center the shortest genome above or below the other genome.  In this case it's Vampire on the Right Splint so it is under the Clarity genome.   This is because it averages the length.  Centering both represents that mathematically.
Ariella: You center because it averages the length.
Rania: you mean right slpint vampire under?
Ariella: I'll let you write that out and I'll explain one more thing about centering.
Pascalito: so you'll have 12 spaces before and after Vampire genome
Ariella: Clarity genome is on the first line (or the imagined first line if you have a blank paper.  Then put the Vampire genome, centered under it.  
Ariella: Make sure each gene is lined up under the other and that there are an equal number of blank spots on each side of the Vampire genome compared to the Clarity genome above.
Ariella: It is very important to ALWAYS put the Left Splint genome on the first line or on top.
Ariella: and the Right Splint genome under it.  But you center the shortest one.
Ariella: If the child flower length had been a fraction and you rounded up then you would shift the shortest genome by 1 towards the Splint side it was in.  If the shortest genome was on the Left Splint you shift it 1 to the Left over the Right Splint genome.  If the shortest genome was on the Right Splint then you shift it to the Right under the Left Splint genome.
Ariella: Has everyone done that?  Because I'm going to ask a question about it.
Dreasimy: I dood it
Ariella: lol Everyone dood it?
Ariella: Easy example.  
AliceBlue: done that yes
Ariella: IOI Left Splint (pretend) O Right Splint
Ariella: You'd put O under the IOI
Ariella: Now notice something.  Start counting from the left side of the longest plant genome and then jump to the other genome when you get to it and keep counting til the end of the shortest genome. 
Ariella: How many do you count?
Dreasimy: 36
AliceBlue: 24
Pascalito: right :)
Dreasimy: oh oops ;D
Ariella: Alice gets a prize 
Rania: lost
Pascalito: the 24 is right
Pascalito: 24 looks familiar ?
Ariella: IRIRIOIOIYIY from Clarity then you are over Vampire genome.
Dreasimy: oh oh it was the child size
Pascalito: yes Dreasimy
Dreasimy: which was clarity (36) plus vampiry (12) divided by 2
Ariella: so then count these on Vampire with the above....IYIYIOIYIOIO
Ariella: You should notice that is the same number as the child flower genome length we figured out earlier for this cross
Ariella: Lastly, you can now see all the possible genomes of child flowers coming out of the cross.  You just don't realize it yet ;) 
Ariella: Just take your pencil or | bar key and draw diagonal lines through both genomes, starting with a line IN FRONT OF the first gene letter of the shortest genome and after each gene letter to the END of your parent genomes (a vertical line after the last gene of the shortest genome).  Draw the vertical lines through both of the two genomes.  
Ariella: These are all your possible splice points. 
Ariella: If you're confused, then jump to this link to see what I mean.
Ariella: http://www.atitd.org/wiki/tale4/Advanced_Crossbreeding
Ariella: Let's go back to our easy example.  IOI on top (Left Splint)
Ariella: O Right Splint.
Ariella: The first vertical line would go right after the I of IOI on top and down in front of the O on bottom.
Ariella: Another vertical line would go after the IO of IOI and down after the O on bottome.
Ariella: But with this Clarity/Vampire cross how many vertical lines (splice points) do you have now?
AliceBlue: 13
Rania: no idea you 100% lost me
Ariella: 13 is right :)
Dreasimy: darn I thought it was 4 so Im confused as well :D
Ariella: Rania, did you follow about lining up the two genomes?
Ariella: okay, Clarity genome again
Pascalito: every gene of Vampire should have a bar before and after it
Pascalito: IRIRIOIOIYIYGORRGRORGRROGORRGRORGRRO 
Ariella: and Vampire genome
Dreasimy: ohhh
Pascalito: IYIYIOIYIOIO 
Dreasimy: ok I have 13 now
Ariella: The first gene I of Vampire should be directly under the first G you find in Clarity.
Pascalito: make sure you have 12 blanks in front of Vampire after centering 
Ariella: then line up each letter of the Vampire genome to match up with a letter of Clarity above.
Pascalito: I wish we had a blackboard...
Ariella: Then draw a vertical line that goes between the last Y in Clarity genome and down in front of the I that starts the Vampire genome.
Rania: so you are saying the splice lines should be at begining and end of vamp?
Ariella: Then continue drawing a vertical line between each pair of genes.
Ariella: yes Rania :)
Pascalito: there are lines there too yes, and in between all gens of vampire too
Ariella: So that you end up with 13 vertical lines
Ariella: The new child flower genome will be formed from the beginning genes of the Left Splint parent genome starting on the left and going until it hits one of the splice points.  You won't know right now where your child flower splice point is, you'll see in a minute.  We just need those possible vertical line splice points right now as an exercise. 
Ariella: So for the number of vertical lines or splice points you will always have the number of genes of the shortest genome plus 1.
Ariella: Does everyone see that?
Dreasimy: <nods>
Rania: child has the  IRIRIOIOIYIY  for sure?
Ariella: At that splice point (whichever vertical line your child flower will be), it will finish the new child flower genome by adding on the right end genes of the Right Splint parent.  We aren't talking longest or shortest now, but Left Splint genome and Right Splint genome.  
Pascalito: yes Rania !!!
Dreasimy: ooo
Ariella: So on your diagram (after you look at your child flower) you will write down the genes beginning with the left side of the Left Splint parent and then drop down a line at your splice point and continue writing the rest of the genes from the Right Splint parent to the end of that genome. 
Rania: and the light bulb comes on
Ariella: A for instance example on the Clarity/Vampire cross: IRIRIOIOIYIYGOR | YIOIYIOIO (notice that splice point) 
Dreasimy: see it
Ariella: Possible child flower genome: IRIRIOIOIYIYGORYIOIYIOIO (just rewriting without the splice point) 
Rania: light went out
Ariella: Now the trick is where the heck is your splice point?  How do you know that?
Dreasimy: psychic powers?
Ariella: Remember the gene sets and how they control size and color and fertilization rate? 
Ariella: Rania, let's put the light back on
Ariella: the above example is a for instance child flower genome
Rania: where did the GOR com in ?
Ariella: Did you find the 13 splice points (vertical lines)?
Dreasimy: she randomly picked  asplice point which contained 3 of the top line letters (the first 3 on top of vampire) 
Rania: the first one should be at the G On clarity right?
Pascalito: first line is left of first G from Clarity
Rania: ok where i have it
Ariella: You can see each of the possble 13 child flower genomes 
Pascalito: now move to 3 lines further to right
Rania: but why?
Rania: and how do you know to move 3 lines to the right
Pascalito: the 3 is what we did for the instance
Rania: because that is the first set of genes?
GiausBaltar: The vertical lines you are drawing are not the splice points, they are the *possible* splice points. The splice you get could be at any spot in between
Dreasimy: Rania I think theya re just picking one splice point randomly to use as an example
Pascalito: well said Giaus :)
Dreasimy: it could be any of the 13
Ariella: If you take the beginning genes from your Left Splint genome (or the genome on top) until you get to a splice point and then at any of those splice points go down to your Right Splint genome and continue taking the rest of those genes.
Ariella: Right Giaus and Dreasimy.
Ariella: Now guess why I went over lily genome theory so you would understand gene sets?
Dreasimy: cuz they are the most complicated? :D
Ariella: Time to go look at YOUR lily :)
Ariella: ding...no Dreasimy ;)
Ariella: I chose Clarity because it has the most variation in color.  It's a long genome so it's a fun one with crosses because there ARE more possible different child flowers from it. 
Dreasimy: <pets her flower>
Pascalito: for this cross, in my humble opinion, the easiest thing to look at first is petal colors (if any)
Ariella: now you see your flower in a completely different light :)
Dreasimy: I gots no petal colors
Pascalito: ok, what would that mean Dreasimy?
AliceBlue: I got blue petals one lot outer
Pascalito: look at the possible splices
Ariella: so what can you guess as your possible splice point Dreasimy?
Dreasimy: is there a gene for 0 color I guess that's confusing me
Pascalito: Alice, sure it is blue, or is it just cyan (not easy if never seen before)
Ariella: Alice is it blue or cyan or do you know?
Pascalito: white is default color, so if no gene sets for the petal, it stays white
Ariella: Dreasimy, you said you had no petal colors
AliceBlue: lightish blue like "AliceBlue" hehe
AliceBlue: I got past slice point 8?
Ariella: You can see that every child flower in this particular cross WILL have the grey stamen?
Pascalito: might be aqua looking then, which is cyan
Pascalito: yes Alice :)
Rania: i am thinking no to blue as there is no U in either parent
Ariella: Because the first possible splice point comes AFTER the all the stamen stuff in Clarity?
Pascalito: well, make that 5 Alice, but i know what you mean
Pascalito: it could be blue !
Dreasimy: Im really drawing a blank when looking at it 
Pascalito: blue is possible if you got GORRGROR in child
Ariella: Dreasimy, do you see that the first splice point comes after IRIRIOIOIYIY?
Pascalito: anyone have a grey petal ?
Dreasimy: well I thihk it must go to 13 then if I had to guess, my splice is 13 cuz I have 3 os? 
Dreasimy: yes
Ariella: Rania we'll get ot you in a second
AliceBlue: I think I have GORRGROR in the child
Ariella: Dreasimy, do you see that the first splice point comes after IRIRIOIOIYIY?
Pascalito: anyone have a grey petal ?
Dreasimy: well I thihk it must go to 13 then if I had to guess, my splice is 13 cuz I have 3 os? 
Dreasimy: yes
Ariella: Rania we'll get ot you in a second
AliceBlue: I think I have GORRGROR in the child
Pascalito: that is a shade 1 blue Alice
Pascalito: you can try to double check with stamen color now for your possible slices with blue petal
AliceBlue: ah so less than that
Ariella: So since you have no color in the petals the splice point range can be narrowed down to 4 possible splice points
Dreasimy: like right now Im looking at the Lily Color Gene Sets on the Sea Lily Genome Theories page, is that what I should be looking at?
Dreasimy: if so I dont see how to apply it to my possible splints :D
Ariella: Dreasimy, plus either including the G or GO or GOR from Clarity
Pascalito: yes, to compare strings of gene sets to colors you see
Pascalito: and admitted, it is darn hard to determine the colors in the outer stamen for this cross generally, cause lots of shades
Dreasimy: ok let me look again
Ariella: or including nothing from Clarity but the stamen gene sets 
Pascalito: anyone has same grey stamen as Clarity ?
Dreasimy: ok when it says outer south petal (that's not for stamens that's for petals, where do I find the thing for stamens?) :D Sorry 
AliceBlue: yes same gray as clarity
Pascalito: first thing after Lily Color Gene Sets title
Ariella: Stamen gene sets...IR IO IY first thing under Lily color gene sets
Pascalito: ok ALice, that means a lot !
Dreasimy: ok so if Im IO would that put me at the 5th splice point?
Pascalito: means you got no extra outer stamen gene sets from Vampire, meaning it took none or just 1 gene from Vampire
AliceBlue: splice point 13?
AliceBlue: nothing from the vampire?
Ariella: well, remember for the child flower genome you start with the beginning genes in order from the Left Splint parent genome.
Pascalito: and since you have not a grey petal set, it took 1 from Vampire, to "kill the GORR
Pascalito: meaning we know Alice's genome ! ... well her flower's :)
Dreasimy: ya I think my gray petals got killed off by something in vampire
Ariella: Dreasimy, You will definitely have IRIRIOIOIYIY right?
Dreasimy: ooo wait
Dreasimy: I think I have a blueish petal
Pascalito: aha, interesting !
Ariella: and what color is your stamen?
Dreasimy: I thought they were all white
Dreasimy: outer stamen is a purple darker than blush's rest is white
Dreasimy: but I didnt notice this petal before its blueish
Pascalito: the last gene from Vampire is O too, same as 24th of Clarity
Ariella: okay, a very light blue?
Pascalito: measn Alice had a subtracted gene
Dreasimy: well it wasnt very obvious to me until I started comparing the clarity to the Pointedly Purple
AliceBlue: plice point 12 or 13 and the O on clarity and O on vampire not in description
Dreasimy: without another blue to compare it to Im not sure ifits light blue or not
Ariella: GORR is cyan
Dreasimy: I think its on one of the outer petals
Pascalito: is you can hardly see, it probably is just Cyan
Ariella: after the stamen gene sets in Clarity you have GORR then GROR
AliceBlue: so description of child IRIRIOIOIYIYGORRGRORGRR pasc?
Dreasimy: well its very in my face now but I didnt see it for a long time :D
Ariella: GROR is magenta
Pascalito: yes, has to be an outer petal set
Ariella: so it might be cyan (which looks like light blue) or a blue (a combo of the cyan plus magenta)
Pascalito: shade 1 yellow is even harder to notice
Dreasimy: and why do I only see it on the top part of one petal but I think I see it on a few undersides of other outer petals?
Pascalito: a lot depends on daytime light settings and your video card
Ariella: Dreasimy, let's see which petal set it is.
Ariella: Is the colored petal set north or south?
Dreasimy: ok it *looks* like right outer? but Im not sure
Dreasimy: the one petal that has blue on the top side is east
Pascalito: need to look at N and S petals
Pascalito: remember, F4 for an arrow pointing to N
Dreasimy: ok underside of north petal is blue

Dreasimy: I thought they were all white
Dreasimy: outer stamen is a purple darker than blush's rest is white
Dreasimy: but I didnt notice this petal before its blueish
Pascalito: the last gene from Vampire is O too, same as 24th of Clarity
Ariella: okay, a very light blue?
Pascalito: measn Alice had a subtracted gene
Dreasimy: well it wasnt very obvious to me until I started comparing the clarity to the Pointedly Purple
AliceBlue: plice point 12 or 13 and the O on clarity and O on vampire not in description
Dreasimy: without another blue to compare it to Im not sure ifits light blue or not
Ariella: GORR is cyan
Dreasimy: I think its on one of the outer petals
Pascalito: is you can hardly see, it probably is just Cyan
Ariella: after the stamen gene sets in Clarity you have GORR then GROR
AliceBlue: so description of child IRIRIOIOIYIYGORRGRORGRR pasc?
Dreasimy: well its very in my face now but I didnt see it for a long time :D
Ariella: GROR is magenta
Pascalito: yes, has to be an outer petal set
Ariella: so it might be cyan (which looks like light blue) or a blue (a combo of the cyan plus magenta)
Pascalito: shade 1 yellow is even harder to notice
Dreasimy: and why do I only see it on the top part of one petal but I think I see it on a few undersides of other outer petals?
Pascalito: a lot depends on daytime light settings and your video card
Ariella: Dreasimy, let's see which petal set it is.
Ariella: Is the colored petal set north or south?
Dreasimy: ok it *looks* like right outer? but Im not sure
Dreasimy: the one petal that has blue on the top side is east
Pascalito: need to look at N and S petals
Pascalito: remember, F4 for an arrow pointing to N
Dreasimy: ok underside of north petal is blue
Ariella: so that is GORR
Dreasimy: and I already thought I had IO for sure from vampire because of the outer stamen being magenta-y
Ariella: the question is, is it cyan or blue.  From your stamen coloring it seems like it is probably just the GORR
Dreasimy: so ddoes that mean its the 5th split?
Dreasimy: is there any flower I might have with one of the 2 colors?
Dreasimy: so I could compare?
Pascalito: yes, probably 1 or 2 IO from Vampire
Dreasimy: oh here's something I have called Pyramid Blue, is this yours?
Dreasimy: this blue is darker than mine
Ariella: purple would stick with magenta so find the splice points where you will not include an IY in your child genome
Ariella: yea Pyramid Blue is mine
Dreasimy: so your blue on the north outer is darker than mine is if that helps hehe
Ariella: you can include Y then IOIO because Y does nothing without the I
Pascalito: yes, but that is ahde 2 blue
Ariella: yes that does help I think
Pascalito: *shade
Ariella: Anyone who wants help with interpreting their flower is VERY welcome to bring it to HG and plant it and we'll go over it :)
Dreasimy: cool :D
Dreasimy: maybe next homework it would be good to plant one of our bulbs for you to see before class :D
Pascalito: I think it might be best to go over the individual results after the lesson in private if needed, or after you looked at the homework solution text i prepared, and will add to end of the page with this lesson
Ariella: Dreasimy, so you think you see the possible splice point range?
Dreasimy: no Im still confused but let's move on :D
Ariella: after the GORR in Clarity, but after the I in the last IY in Vampire
Pascalito: it is sometimes hard, especially if nothing to compare with
Ariella: Remember I said that an added (duplicated) or subtracted gene could happen at the splice point.  This can possibly transform a gene set into an entirely new gene set that the parent flowers did not carry.  Also, the splice point can form a new gene set that the parent flowers did not have before that triggers a different color or size that the parents did not have. 
Dreasimy: ohhh okie :D neat
Pascalito: i have a giant6 with a cyan petal in HG
Ariella: Something to point out on lilies while you eyeball your child flower... 
AliceBlue: Great idea Dreasimy. plant one at the classroom
Ariella: Color gene sets on lilies are 4 genes long.  Orchid, sand bloom, and rose gene sets are usually two genes long or at most three I think.  So on lilies it's often impossible to know the exact splice point in some cases.  
Ariella: If you're super curious you can make solvents and take a look at your new little genome after you split two more off to find exactly where it spliced and if it has an added (doubled) or subtracted gene. 
Ariella: End of class
Pascalito: I hope you can all uproot flowers ?
Dreasimy: but of course :D
Pascalito: Try same things with second cross (anyone got a giantx2 ?), you can use my "homework" to assist you
Ariella: Or if you want, throw up a chat with Pascalito or me to go over interpreting your flower.
Pascalito: Dreasimy, tell me when done on the page, then i'll add my text at bottom
Dreasimy: okie
AliceBlue: is nexct class same time next week?
Ariella: We will be putting all the possbile child lily genomes of both crosses and their color schemes on the GOO guide wiki at the bottom of this saved chat so you can help compare your flower.
Ariella: Yes same time next week :)  And new homework with orchids!
Pascalito: And remember this was the hardest and longest lesson by far!
AliceBlue: excellent ty :-)
Dreasimy: TY very much Ariella and Pascalito :D Im just working on getting the log up now :D

Clarity Left Splint/Vampire Right Splint: possible hybrid results

We will not takeg shortening or lengthening of the child genome into account at first, this is a good habit.

1. Length of the hybrid : (36 + 12) / 2 = 24

2. Centering parent genomes: 

  IRIRIOIOIYIYGORRGRORGRROGORRGRORGRRO
  ............IYIYIOIYIOIO

3. Listing the 13 possible splices (13 = shortest parent genome length + 1) 

  IRIRIOIOIYIY
  ............IYIYIOIYIOIO   
  2xIR + 5xIO + 5xIY:
     Outer Stamen = 2 x Black(IR+IO+IY) + 2 x Red(IO+IY) (note: only 2 red shades will show up since a total of 4 shades per base color is the maximmum)

  IRIRIOIOIYIYG
  ............ YIYIOIYIOIO
  2xIR + 5xIO + 4xIY:
     Outer Stamen = 2 x Black(IR+IO+IY) + 2 x Red(IO+IY) (note: only 2 red shades will show up since a total of 4 shades per base color is the maximmum)

  IRIRIOIOIYIYGO
  ............  IYIOIYIOIO
  2xIR + 5xIO + 4xIY:
     Outer Stamen =  2 x Black(IR+IO+IY) + 2 x Red(IO+IY) (note: only 2 red shades will show up since a total of 4 shades per base color is the maximmum)

  IRIRIOIOIYIYGOR
  ............   YIOIYIOIO
  2xIR + 5xIO + 3xIY:
     Outer Stamen = 2 x Black(IR+IO+IY) + 1 x Red(IO+IY) + 1 x Magenta(IO) (note: a total of 4 shades per base color is the maximmum)

  IRIRIOIOIYIYGORR
  ............    IOIYIOIO
  2xIR + 5xIO + 3xIY + 1xGORR:
     Outer Stamen = 2 x Black(IR+IO+IY) + 1 x Red(IO+IY) + 1 x Magenta(IO) (note: a total of 4 shades per base color is the maximmum)
     Outer North Petal Set = 1 x Cyan(GORR)

  IRIRIOIOIYIYGORRG
  ............     OIYIOIO
  2xIR + 4xIO + 3xIY + 1xGORR: 
     Outer Stamen = 2 x Black(IR+IO+IY) + 1 x Red(IO+IY) + 1 x Magenta(IO)
     Outer North Petal Set = 1 x Cyan(GORR)

  IRIRIOIOIYIYGORRGR
  ............      IYIOIO
  2xIR + 4xIO + 3xIY + 1xGORR:
     Outer Stamen = 2 x Black(IR+IO+IY) + 1 x Red(IO+IY) + 1 x Magenta(IO)
     Outer North Petal Set = 1 x Cyan(GORR)

  IRIRIOIOIYIYGORRGRO
  ............       YIOIO
  2xIR + 4xIO + 2xIY + 1xGORR:
     Outer Stamen = 2 x Black(IR+IO+IY) + 2 x Magenta(IO)
     Outer North Petal Set = 1 x Cyan(GORR)

  IRIRIOIOIYIYGORRGROR
  ............        IOIO
  2xIR + 4xIO + 2xIY + 1xGORR + 1xGROR:
     Outer Stamen = 2 x Black(IR+IO+IY) + 2 x Magenta(IO)
     Outer North Petal Set = 1 x Blue(GORR+GROR)

  IRIRIOIOIYIYGORRGRORG
  ............         OIO
  2xIR + 3xIO + 2xIY + 1xGORR + 1xGROR:
     Outer Stamen = 2 x Black(IR+IO+IY) + 1 x Magenta(IO)
     Outer North Petal Set = 1 x Blue(GORR+GROR)

  IRIRIOIOIYIYGORRGRORGR
  ............          IO
  2xIR + 3xIO + 2xIY + 1xGORR + 1xGROR:
     Outer Stamen = 2 x Black(IR+IO+IY) + 1 x Magenta(IO)
     Outer North Petal Set = 1 x Blue(GORR+GROR)

  IRIRIOIOIYIYGORRGRORGRR
  ............           O
  2xIR + 2xIO + 2xIY + 1xGORR + 1xGROR + 1xGRRO:
     Outer Stamen = 2 x Black(IR+IO+IY)
     Outer North Petal Set = 1 x Black(GORR+GROR+GRRO)

  IRIRIOIOIYIYGORRGRORGRRO
  ............
  2xIR + 2xIO + 2xIY + 1xGORR + 1xGROR + 1xGRRO:
     Outer Stamen = 2 x Black(IR+IO+IY)
     Outer North Petal Set = 1 x Black(GORR+GROR+GRRO)

The next two are examples of added (doubled) or subtracted genes that had a visual effect by creating color gene sets not found on either parent. Usually added (doubled) or subtracted genes are not apparent by visual inspection.


Example of a subtraction: 

  IRIRIOIOIYIY
  ............ YIYIOIYIOIO
  2xIR + 5xIO + 4xIY:
     Outer Stamen = 2 x Black(IR+IO+IY) + 2 x Red(IO+IY) (note: only 2 red shades will show up since a total of 4 shades per base color is the maximmum)
     Middle Stamen = 1 x Yellow(IYY) There is no way to have this gene set without a subtracted gene at the splice point.


Exampple of an addition (remember it duplicates the gene from left or right side of the splice point): 

  IRIRIOIOIYIYGORRGRORGRRR
  ............           O
  2xIR + 2xIO + 2xIY + 1xGORR + 1xGROR + 1xGRRR:
     Outer Stamen = 2 x Black(IR+IO+IY)
     Outer South Petal Set = 1 x Cyan(GRRR) This gene set could not happen without the added (doubled) gene at the splice point.
     Outer North Petal Set = 1 x Blue (Cyan GORR + Magenta GROR)

Fracture Left Splint/Clarity Right Splint: possible hybrid results

We will not takeg shortening or lengthening of the child genome into account at first, this is a good habit.

1. Length of the hybrid : (18 + 36) / 2 = 27

2. Centering parent genomes: 

           ROYGROYGYORGORGOOO.........
  IRIRIOIOIYIYGORRGRORGRROGORRGRORGRRO


3. Listing the 19 possible splices (19 = shortest parent genome length + 1), using the same abbreviated indicators as on the Genomes page 

  ROYGROYGYORGORGOOO.........
                    RGRORGRRO
  2xGiant(ROYG) + 1xDwarf(GYOR) + Mag1OSP(GOOO) + Red1ONP=[Mag1ONP(GROR)+Yel1ONP(GRRO)]

If you do not find the looks of your cross in this list, you could have an added or subtracted gene at the splice point!


Example of a subtraction:
