Jacob's Field Anomaly

===Gene Color Codes===

Genes are expressed by [[Revelation Solvent]]s as a series of colors, which are abbreviated to a single letter. These colors are sometimes the same and sometimes different between tales. Tale 8 colors for flax genes and their mappings to earlier tales are as follows (determined by sequencing Jacob's Field and comparing to the known genome from Tale 7):

{| class="wikitable" border="1" cellpadding="5" cellspacing="5" style="background-color:#FFFFFF"
! Tale8 !! Tale7 !! Tale6
|-
| (A)mber || A || G
|-
| (P)ink || G || R
|-
| Blac(K) || K || -
|-
| (I)ndigo || I || O
|-
| (T)urquoise || M || Y
|-
| (R)ed || W || K
|-
|}

===Defaults===

A default rate is the amount when the genome length is zero. Defaults are believed to be as follows:

{| class="wikitable" border="1" cellpadding="5" cellspacing="5" style="background-color:#FFFFFF"
! Default || Value
|-
| Weed Steps1 || 5
|-
| Weed and Water Steps || 0
|-
| Seed yield per harvest step || 0
|-
| Flax yield || 0
|-
| Rotten flax yield || 0
|-
| High-Nitrogen Resistance || No
|-
| Low-Nitrogen Resistance || No
|}

1ATATAT and IP are the phenomes to reduce number of weedings. Nile Green has 3 IP and one ATATAT and requires 1 weeding. Old Egypt has 3 IP and requires 2 weedings.

The following proof is from an earlier telling (these genomes probably haven't changed other than substituting new gene colors for old):

Proofs: Ariella #131 Nile Green(left)/Nile Green(right) cross KORGRGYGYGYGRGY-RYYRGROYYORRK -O
Added one extra weed to Nile Green when 1 of the 3 OR was subtracted.
Ariella #8 Old Egypt(left)/Nile Green(right) cross KRYYOGYGYORR/GYGYGRGYORYYRGROYYORRK
Yielded 2 weedings and 2 Flax. Old T3 theory said (amount of flax or GYGY) - 1. This had 3 OR and 2 GYGY
but still 2 weedings not 1 weeding.

===Known T8 Gene Sets===

* +1 Seed PI
* -1 Weeding IP - Minimum seems to be 1 <s>Weed</s> Tending
* +1 Flax ATAT
* +1 Rotten Flax PPAT
* +1 Water and -1 Weed ATATAT
* PIT provides resistance to high nitrogen levels. Nitrogen level of 100 -> Flax Seeds without PIT give flax, Nitrogen level of 120 -> Flax seeds without PIT give no flax, with 1 x PIT give flax. Nitrogen level of 300 the same.
* API provides resistance to low nitrogen levels (below 92).
* APIT thus provides resistance to both high and low nitrogen levels.

===Jacob's Field Anomaly===

The above rules are not sufficient to yield the behavior of Jacob's Field and Nile Green strains. Jacob's Field requires 6 weedings, the default is believed to be 5, and none of the above give +1 Weed. Based on the above, Nile Green should require 1 weeding but in actuality requires 2.

Comparing the genomes of the various standard strains, I notice the sequence TP appears once in Jacob's Field, once in Nile Green, twice in Old Egypt, and nowhere in any of the other strains. I theorize that TP causes +1 Weed to be required, except another TP will cancel out the first (acting as both +1 and -1 Weed). My cross-breeding tests with Jacob's Field, Nile Green, and Old Dog so far support this theory but are not yet conclusive. --Ashen

Tale 10, I used a mutagen to damage the "TP" genome in Jacob's Field. Instead of 6 weedings, the flax only required 5 weedings. This supports the theory that TP adds one weeding to the flax tends. --Peacefulness

Looking at further simulated results, it may be possible that, only one TP adds one weeding. It is still cancelled by a second TP. A third TP does not return it to +1 weeding. Instead of being evaluated as an even or odd number of TPs, it may be that any number of TP sequences greater than one will cancel out the additional weeding.

===Genome Size Theory===

Genome size was limited as of Tale 6 verified by talking to teppy - Ariella

Genome size can have one gene removed to decrease the genome size by 1 gene or a gene duplicated at the splice point to increase the genome size by 1 gene. Please see the page on [[Genetics for Dummies]].

=="Starter" Flax==

At the beginning of each Tale, there are eight strains of flax available. Their genomes are listed on the [[Genomes]] page.

This is a visualization of where the gene strings are located in each strain of flax. If you would like to add your own crossbred varieties, please contact Peacefulness in-game or on Discord. The spreadsheet below is also available at https://tinyurl.com/y56rjdc6
