Mutagen Research and Recipes

Mutagens are created in a Mutagenics Lab and aid in Crossbreeding. Discovering Mutagens is a time intensive process usually done at a public mutagenics lab. There is currently a public mutagenics lab at the University of Thought in 7 Lakes.

Once the recipe is started in your lab, it will immediately produce 1 "Toxin of X, Y and Z", with X, Y, and Z being the three moss traits required by the recipe. Over the next real month your lab will continue excreting drops of mutagen, each of which can be used for a cross at a greenhouse.

How to determine which gene is hit?

The columns "Left Splint Target" and "Right Splint Target" give us hit zones (on a scale from 0 to 1, 1 standing the full length of a genome).
The math is the same for left and right splint.
The splint targets give a range determined by 2 fractions (which gives more precise calculations than using decimals). Lets call those fractions "Min" and "Max" (ex. for Crackly, Green, Prickly left splint Min=44/106 and Max =45/106).
For a genome of length L and counting genes in the genome from 1 to L, you can calculate the hit range as follows (range because nothing guarantees an equal result in following formulas) :

  Range start = ROUNDDOWN( (L * Min) + 1)
  Range end   = ROUNDUP(L * Max)

Example: where does Crackly, Green, Prickly hit on the left splint for a Vampire Lily ?

Range start = ROUNDDOWN( (12 * 44/106) + 1) = 5
Range end = ROUNDUP(12 * 45/106) = 6
This example also shows that even with real good narrowing to less than 1% (we exactly know where it hits Crimson Lily), the hit is not fully determined on a short genome like Vampire!
