This is one half of your job. Make sure you know how do it (and actually fucking do it).

This is one half of your job. Make sure you know how to do it.


===Cloning, A How To===
=== How to Clone people ===
Someone has died? Not to worry, SCIENCE is here!
*1) Grab a body.
*3) Throw body into cloner.
*4) Scan. If there is no brain activity, wait a moment and try again (Ghost needs to return to its body). If this fails, skip to step 13.
*5) Go into medical records.
*6) Hit clone.
*7) If you don't have Clean Structural Enzymes yet, pop body out of cloning scanner. If you do, skip to step 9.
*8) Take old body (and not the clone), throw into genetic manipulator, go into the transfer buffer, save their SE formula to a blank spot.
*9) Take a clean SE injector from the genetic manipulator and (if the clone mans has anything wrong with them) inject them with clean SEs.
*10) Give them their clothes back and throw them out of your lab.
*11) If Clonexadone is available, take the clone to cryogenics to finish their cloning.
*12) Throw them out of your lab.
*13) You now have a dead body to play with, turn into a monkey, throw into the morgue, or just give to the chef (or do a combination thereof).
'''ASK THE [[CMO]] TO CHECK THE CREW MONITOR REGULARLY SO YOU HAVE PEOPLE TO CLONE.'''


===Genetic Backup===
# Put a dead, unhusked corpse in the DNA scanner
You can take a scan off of someone while they're alive and create a genetic backup ready to be cloned in case they die. This is useful to those of especially high risk of an irretrievable death like the chief engineer or captain.
# Use the cloning console and press "Start Scan"
*1) Bug people to get scanned at genetics while they're still alive.
# Once the scan has completed, press "View Records," select the person you need to clone, and press "Clone"
*2) Scan them.
# (Optional) Leave the gear from the corpse in front of the cloning pod and put the corpse in the [[Morgue]]
*3) Press the "clone" button under their records when they die.


===Early Ejection===
===Early Ejection===
If you're feeling fancy and have a backlog of bodies, you can force an early ejection of the cloning pod by unlocking the pod with your ID and using the Eject Pod command from the right-click menu. The clone must be at least 40% done before the pod will allow you to eject it this way.  
Early Ejection is what happens if <s>you forget</s> someone forgets to keep the cloning pod filled up with [[Synthflesh]]. Early Ejection is often times detrimental, requiring the person to be cloned again. The effects of Early Ejection include the person coming out:
 
* Without a heart
The cloning pod will also eject its current unfinished clone if the room's equipment loses power. If you get a cooperative [[Engineer]] to unlock the APC for you, you can switch the power off and on to eject the clone.
* Without limbs
 
* With blindness/deafness/muteness
If you opt for early ejection, you need to finish the cloning process over in cryogenics if they have clonexadone loaded into the machines. Make sure you have some Alkysine handy to cure their massive brain damage, however. This is known as 'Hypercloning', and it speeds up the process of cloning significantly, frees up the cloning machine for another patient, gives cryogenics and bored medical doctors something to do, and it's not inconvenient because they're naked coming out of the pod anyway.
* With Tourettes
 
* With severe brain damage
==Genetic Research==
* With severe radiation poisoning
* With severe cellular damage
Not worth it.
===Genetic Backup===
Being able to clone the [[Shaft Miner|Miners]] and Space Explorers when they inevitably die is nice, even more so if you don't have to go out to [[Lavaland]] or [[Space]] to retrieve the corpse. To do this, just bug the [[Miners]] and Space Explorers to get into the DNA scanner while they're still alive, scan them, then, when they die, use the cloning console and clone them as usual, if they are still alive, you will not be able to clone them.

==Tips==
Other, more subtle, modifications may be possible. As always, experimentation is encouraged!
* If someone has a cavity implanted item, you can instantly remove it by monkeying them.
 
* Monkeying someone who is impregnated (With a [[Xenomorph]] embryo) will remove the embryo, curing them.
===Powers===
* The Genetics DNA altering console can spit out injectors for UEs and UIs as well as Mutations. This means that, if you get a willing volunteer or even just a humanized monkey (Made by giving a monkey 1u of mutadone), you can run around the station changing everyone into the same person (if you do this without being antag or having people’s con-sent, you will get banned).
<table border="1">
* You can put disks into the cloning computer to save the UI and UE of people scanned.

* Radiation (and thus radstorms and mutagen) has a very, VERY small chance to give non-negative mutations. One of the "Gotta go fast" schools of genetics is to hit a humanized monkey with a load of mutagen and get most of the disability blocks in five minutes.

* Telekinesis is very OP. With X-ray it's nigh-unstoppable if used correctly. You can:
<td>Gives the ability to move objects around at a distance. Also used to beat people up at a distance</td>
** Bash people with items. If they pick the item up you can still hit them with it.
<td>Super-strength. Makes punching through reinforced glass (or skulls) easy as cake. Great when used in conjunction with Telekinesis.</td>
** Steal ID's out of computers

** Steal guns out of charging stations

==WHAT HAS SCIENCE DONE?!==
As a [[traitor]], you are pretty much able to do anything you want to dead people in your lab, granted you don't have a [[Roboticist|coworker]] or [[Head of Security|baby sitter]]. After sticking about for a few moments, any [[security]] forces usually vanish from the room of medium priority targets, like the [[Research Director|RD]] or [[Chief Engineer|CE]]. At this time, you can then loot their items and access, or even their appearance! You can easily replace people, just be sure to get rid of the original and wear the right clothes! Perhaps it will help you in the long run.
 
'''Do not use Monkey SE's on other crew members if you are not a [[traitor]]. This will get you banned.'''

You start in the Genetics Lab and get to pull your hair out from the amount break-ins at the lab play God. This is a very technical class, but there are a few simple things people can do that are still learning the ins and out of genetics. The main thing you're meant for: find super powers, fix disabilities, and cloning dead people.

Bare minimum requirements: Clone the corpses dropped off at your doorstep. Don't hand out Hulk like candy to random tiders.

Medbay
The genetics lab is located in Medbay. It is separated into two sections: Genetic Cloning and Genetic Research

Genetic Cloning

This is one half of your job. Make sure you know how to do it.

How to Clone people

  1. Put a dead, unhusked corpse in the DNA scanner
  2. Use the cloning console and press "Start Scan"
  3. Once the scan has completed, press "View Records," select the person you need to clone, and press "Clone"
  4. (Optional) Leave the gear from the corpse in front of the cloning pod and put the corpse in the Morgue

Early Ejection

Early Ejection is what happens if you forget someone forgets to keep the cloning pod filled up with Synthflesh. Early Ejection is often times detrimental, requiring the person to be cloned again. The effects of Early Ejection include the person coming out:

  • Without a heart
  • Without limbs
  • With blindness/deafness/muteness
  • With Tourettes
  • With severe brain damage
  • With severe radiation poisoning
  • With severe cellular damage

Not worth it.

Genetic Backup

Being able to clone the Miners and Space Explorers when they inevitably die is nice, even more so if you don't have to go out to Lavaland or Space to retrieve the corpse. To do this, just bug the Miners and Space Explorers to get into the DNA scanner while they're still alive, scan them, then, when they die, use the cloning console and clone them as usual, if they are still alive, you will not be able to clone them.

Genetic Research

Any geneticist worth their salt knows that manipulating the DNA of living things is their ball game.

See the Guide to Genetics when you're ready for the real SCIENCE.

Tips

  • If someone has a cavity implanted item, you can instantly remove it by monkeying them.
  • Monkeying someone who is impregnated (With a Xenomorph embryo) will remove the embryo, curing them.
  • The Genetics DNA altering console can spit out injectors for UEs and UIs as well as Mutations. This means that, if you get a willing volunteer or even just a humanized monkey (Made by giving a monkey 1u of mutadone), you can run around the station changing everyone into the same person (if you do this without being antag or having people’s con-sent, you will get banned).
  • You can put disks into the cloning computer to save the UI and UE of people scanned.
  • Radiation (and thus radstorms and mutagen) has a very, VERY small chance to give non-negative mutations. One of the "Gotta go fast" schools of genetics is to hit a humanized monkey with a load of mutagen and get most of the disability blocks in five minutes.
  • It can be empirically shown that, for an unupgraded machine, a pulse duration of 4 seconds is the most efficient trade-off of time and success rate.
  • If the mime's being a jackass, stealthily inject him/her with a Tourettes Injector, and watch them get lynched for breaking their vow

Traitortips

  • The DNA scanner works great as a small prison, just get the person you want to keep in there to get into the scanner, then lock it from a linked console, the person cannot get out on their own.
  • Change your identity if you're caught being a shitler. Keeps people off of you.
  • Telekinesis is very OP. With X-ray it's nigh-unstoppable if used correctly. You can:

    • Be an all around douchebag
  • X-Ray + Telekinesis can be used to onehuman the AI from outside the upload. Unfortunately, you cannot activate the freeform module correctly. Shame.
