While I don't know the answer I can tell you that I cant edit my filly either.


BG2b Daisy Season

At the moment only the primary DNA strand can be edited too.

But the foal doesn't have that strand. He has -

At the moment only the primary DNA strand can be edited too.

I think I get the Sabino question for the foal bred by @hayesstable - because their foal is - for sabino and not W20, we know their foal inherited the KIT genes from Mr. Clean Slate's secondary strand, not his first strand. Because it's the secondary strand, it can't be modified. But hayes *could* add on KP because the KP is on the primary strand. Same with @blucrystals foal - the KP is from the primary strand and could have been added on. My foal has TE, but it's from her dam's genes, not Mr. Clean Slate's. I wouldn't have been able to add in Mr. Clean Slate's TE2, because that's on his secondary strand. Since we know my girl inherited the primary strand sabino (since she had the KP and the DP), I was able to change the W20 to Sabino, but I wouldn't have been able to change it to -.

So If my girl had inherited the gulastra plume strand, I could have edited KP on to her, but since she inherited the KP, I can't add the GP on to her, since the GP is on the secondary strand? Shucks, I totally would have spayed her and held out for a different intact.

I still have exactly zero understanding because Mr Clean Slate has Sabino on both strands. Both his colour names and both his DNA sets have Sabino.

I’m so lost. Someone please give me a map @-)

I have an option to change it to w20. Why do I have that but no Sabino? It’s fine, I still like my foal, I just want to understand.

That is correct. I will need to figure out a way to deal with it in time but I don't have an answer just yet.

The foal has -. He needs to have either w20 or Sabino to be able to swap to the other one. He has neither so can't match to his sire's genes in order to even made the swap.

Why does mine show the option to change it to W20? Is the first side of each, the italicized section, the inherited primary strand?
W20/ Sab1
- / Sab1

Except my filly has DP, KP and gp. Which means as far as GMTing her the strands mixed on everything except the Sabino.

Thats what we were asking. :)) why the Sabino wasn't the same way as everything else.

w20 is on strand one, but both blu and I have an option to edit it.

If I had the extra GMTs, I’d see if I could add the w20 then switch the w20 to Sabino. For science, you know. :p But I really don’t want to end up Stuck with the w20 or wasting the GMTs when I have other projects I want to do.

(Those two GMTs would go a long way towards putting Sabino on a foundy :p)

If it’s a glitch, we have plenty time to add it before they’re breedable. So there’s that at least. When mine turns three, I’m going to decide if she stays a she or if she’s going to be a he.

Ah! It let me change it to W20, which is opposite the blank state on Strand 1, which in turn let me change it Sab 1, which is opposite the W20 on Strand 2! I think I've got the general reasoning behind it, too. She only had the blank state -, which made it impossible to genetically change her to anything but W20. Because W20 is on both strands, that allowed me to change her to Sab1. Daisychain!

Yay! We did it! :D

Ok, so reading all that hurt my head!! So it means I can't add the GP because it's on the secondary strand?

So foals that got secondary genes got them as a bonus, but anyone can gmt missing primary strand genes?

@Kintara that's correct. So ideally you want to aim to get the genes from the second strand as you can use GMT's to add the missed ones from the Primary.

Well not wary so much as better informed, I didn't understand how that worked before, though we could gmt anything!
