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

conclusion: this cross has a 1/44 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

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
- 22/44, no change to the genome
- 7/44, gene added
- 4/44, gene removed

In the barrel, Peacefulness#9 is Light Red
- 29/33, no change, Light Red
  - 6/33 gene added. 1/33 gene removed
- 4/33, wildHue giving White (or Rose?)
  - 1/4, gene added. 3/4 gene removed
