OE08

Phosphorescent, Prickly, Spotted

This page serves as a repository of research notes on Toxin OE08, the eighth mutagen unlocked in Old Egypt by Renard. It uses 5 Phosphorescent, Prickly, Spotted (Negative to Fuzzy Hairy Mottled) moss and 1 Cobra Hood, 2 Heart of Ash mushrooms.

First mutation test: L-Vampire R-Silken

Vampire's stamen is now orange, so an IO was replaced by IY, no change is apparent on the Silken.

Second mutation test: L-Silken R-Vampire

Vampire's stamen is now orange, so an IO was replaced by IY, no change is apparent on the Silken.

Discussion and next step

It's clear that the mutagen hits just left of center on both splints.
Left-Vampire 6(O)
Right-Vampire 6(O)

It's either 8 or 9 on the Silken.

Fracture: ROYG ROYGYOR
Left Splint: 8-9
Right Splint: 8-9
This is a natural choice to be testing on since the gene affected will create dramatic effects.

Clarity: IRIR IOIO IYIY GORR GROR
Left Splint: 16-18
Right Splint: 16-18
Since the range is over two alleles, seeing which part of the range is affected should be straightforward.

Morning: IRRR IYYY IYYY UYYY UYYY UROR
Left Splint: 19-22
Right Splint: 19-22
This could prove useful later, but for now the range seems too broad.

Third mutation test: L-Clarity R-Fracture

Clarity has lost magenta in the north stamen and is now dwarf. Fracture is double giant and has magenta in north petals.
Left-Clarity 18 (R)
Right-Fracture 9 (Y)

Fourth mutation test: L-Fracture R-Clarity

Clarity has lost magenta in the north stamen and is now dwarf. Fracture is double giant and has magenta in north petals.
Left-Fracture 9 (Y)
Right-Clarity 18 (R)

Discussion and next step

Morning: IRRR IYYY IYYY UYYY UYYY UROR
Left Splint: 21-22
Right Splint: 21-22

Dusk (Starting with gene 31): GORR GROR
Left Splint: 35-37
Right Splint: 35-37

Crimson (Starting with gene 47): UROR GOOO
Left Splint: 51-53
Right Splint: 51-53

A Morning-Dusk double cross has a 50% chance of disrupting both alleles and being uninterpretable. The other three possible combinations have unique interpretations. Not great odds, but it's something to work with.
