Appreciation

Current Project: Attempting to shorten the genome for Appreciation vines

Starting points

Appreciation, 16 genes long

• KGYRYRYYRYYRYYRK

Appreciation Original (same genome, renamed), 16 genes long

• KGYRYRYYRYYRYYRK

Analysis with crossbreeding simulator shows that crossing with Nut's Essence can produce:

• a child identical to the parents (50% of the time), 22/44
• a child that is 15 genes long (25% of the time), 11/44
• a child that is 17 genes long (25% of the time), 11/44

Results which have mutations can be detected through

• Molecular Balance (not fully researched)
• Revelation Solvents
• Analysis of vineyard tends
  • No Change: 22 of 44 results will show the same tends and be genetically identical to the parents
  • Sneaky Change: 7 of 44 results have a mutation that can ONLY be detected with Revelation Solvents or Molecular Balance. 6 are longer, 1 is shorter, but they do not change the function of the vine.
  • Hue: 4 of 44 results will show changes in the Hue. In the barrel Appreciation grapes have shown as Light Red wine. Hoping that a crossbreed that loses the Hue genome will show as White wine.
  • Quality: 11 of 44 results will show changes in the Quality tends
  • Skin: 6 of 44 results will show changes in the Skin tends

Results and Analysis

Here we go!

Tends to Avoid: They give ambiguous results for these vines

• Fat SL, need the tend for QQQ. Also Q = QQ
• Fat SV, wildS = S
• Fat TL, Q = QQ
• Fat TV, wildS = SS
• Musty AS, Q = QQQ
• Rustle MG, wildS = S
• Rustle SL, wildS = SS
• Rustle SV, Q = QQQ
• Sagging AS, Q = QQ and wildS = SS
• Sagging PO, wildS = S
• Shimmer MG, wildS = SS
• Wilting AS, Q = QQQ

Peacefulness#8

early tends match tends for QQQ.
Hue in the barrel is Light Red, same as Appreciation.

• 16 genes, Same length as parents, 22/44
• 17 genes, Gained a gene, 6/44
• 15 genes, Lost a gene, 1/44

Peacefulness#9

• First tend was Musty AS. Poor choice of tend. Q and QQQ both have the same quality change.
• Second tend matches QQQ
