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 Ashen's 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, three Quality genomes and no Sugar genomes (wild)
  • 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. 1 is longer, 3 are shorter.
    • In the barrel Appreciation grapes have shown as Light Red wine.
    • Harvested Appreciation grapes will display "Hue: Light Red" when examined through Skills > Viticulture.
    • Expecting that a vine without the Hue genome will show as White wine.
  • Quality: 11 of 44 results will show changes in the Quality tends.
  • Sugar: 6 of 44 results will show changes in the Sugar tends.

Starting Point: 16 genes

two Appreciation vines (one renamed)

Results summary

• Peacefulness#8, QQQ wildS, Light Red Hue. 1/29 chance of being shorter
• Peacefulness#9, QQQ wildS, Light Red Hue. 1/29 chance of being shorter
• Peacefulness#10, QQQ wildS, Light Red Hue. 1/29 chance of being shorter
• Peacefulness #11, still tending
• Peacefulness#12, QQ S. 1/4 chance of being shorter. Needs Revelation Solvents or Molecular Balance.

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

More Details

Peacefulness#8

conclusion: this cross has a 1/29 chance of having a shorter genome
early tends match QQQ, wildS.
Hue in the barrel is Light Red, same as Appreciation.

• 22/44, identical to parents, 16 genes.
• 6/44, gained a gene, 17 genes.
• 1/44, lost a gene, 15 genes.

Peacefulness#9

Conclusion: This cross has a 1/29 chance of having a shorter genome

• First tend was Musty AS. Poor choice of tend. Q and QQQ both have the same quality change.
• Tends 2 through 7 match QQQ, wildS
• Current possibilities: 33 of 44 combinations yield QQQ, wildS
  • 22/33, no change to the genome
  • 7/33, gene added
  • 4/33, gene removed

• In the barrel, Peacefulness#9 is Light Red
  • 29/33 QQQ wildS Light Red Hue (H)
    • 22/33 no change to the genome
    • 6/33 gene added.
    • 1/33 gene removed
  • 4/33 QQQ wildS, White Hue (wildH)
    • 1/4 gene added.
    • 3/4 gene removed

Peacefulness#10

Conclusion: This cross has a 1/29 chance of having a shorter genome

• Four tends match QQQ wildS
• Two tends, Q values negative (no data), wildS
• Hue is Light Red

Peacefulness#11

• first three tends match QQQ wildS

Peacefulness#12

This vine has a 1 in 4 chance of being shorter
Freshly planted vine, 0 Quality.

• First tend (Musty TL) gave no increase in grape quality.
  • Q should give -4 quality.
  • QQ should give -5 quality
  • QQQ does give +6 quality. Verified with an Appreciation vine. This vine is not QQQ.
  • QQQQ tends not documented
• 11 vines have a change in Q. 4 are longer, 7 are shorter.
• All of those vines have Light Red Hue.
• First tend gave a change in sugar that matches S, not the wildS in Appreciation.
  • 4/44 vines are S. They are also all QQ.
    • 3/4 are longer
    • 1/4 is shorter
• Second tend matches Shrivel PO for QQ S
  • The length of the genome can now only be determined through Molecular Balance or Revelation Solvents.

Just for giggles, here are the four genomes which give the results seen in Peacefulness#12.
When I'm ready to throw revelation solvents at it, I'll need this information anyway...

QQQ..H 16 KGYRYRYYRYYRYYRK Appreciation. The R is removed, breaking one RYYR (quality) genome
QQ.S.H 15 KGYRY YYRYYRYYRK Peace12, option 1. Removal of the R creates a YYY (sugar) genome

QQQ..H 16 KGYRYRY YRYYRYYRK Appreciation. Original RYYR (quality) genome
QQ.S.H 17 KGYRYRYYYRYYRYYRK Peace12, option 2. Addition of Y creates a YYY (sugar) genome

QQQ..H 16 KGYRYRYYRY YRYYRK Appreciation. Original RYYR (quality) genome
QQ.S.H 17 KGYRYRYYRYYYRYYRK Peace12, option 3. Addition of Y creates a YYY (sugar) genome

QQQ..H 16 KGYRYRYYRYYRY YRK Appreciation. Original RYYR (quality) genome
QQ.S.H 17 KGYRYRYYRYYRYYYRK Peace12, option 4. Addition of Y creates a YYY (sugar) genome
