GENI
The Genetics Initiative
A bulk of the crossbreeding research done in the game seems to be done by individuals. This may not seem like a huge deal, given that breakthroughs are usually shared or placed on the wiki, but an experience prompted me to think that this is a big deal. I was looking at the vine genetics in preparation for some experiments, and Mortality was doing the same. I looked through her list of crossbreeds and found that by chance one of her experiments was a perfect test for a theory I had. This saved me the difficulty of performing the test myself, and wasting resources that could be applied to further research. From this I had an idea: Why not make a section of the wiki that is devoted to cataloging data from crossbreeds, theories, etc. If we create a common repository of information, we will have a large data set to pull from. This will make confirming or denouncing theories and tests easier, and reduce the overall resource consumption of repeated experiments.-Dresdor
Purpose
As stated above, the purpose is to create a repository of knowledge for furthering the causes of crossbreeding and genetics research. Understanding the genome will become of even greater importance once mutagens are researched, and genetic manipulation takes on a finer role.
Contributing
To contribute to the Genetics Initiative, you can make a page and link it here (or link to your existing page). If you are unable or don't want to wiki-fy your data, but want to contribute, you can email anything you want to contribute to me, and I will put in the labor to format it into the wiki (I will make sure to credit those contributing). My (Dresdor) email address is matodt(at)netscape.net
What Data We Need
Primarily, GENI is looking for information pertaining to solvent results and crossbreeding attempts. However, anything at this point may prove useful, so anything you feel is useful and pertinent, please contribute.
