Gene Lab

The gene lab is a penthouse upgrade which can be purchased after achieving around 14,000 reputation points. The gene lab allows the player to add or remove genetic traits to their slaves through remote surgery. These genetic traits can impact a variety of traits which are usually only obtained through surgery or regime training. The key characteristic of these genes is their ability to pass on these genes to their offspring.

## Types of Genes

There are a wide variety of genes which are available and also one which is bought on the black market.

* albinism: Induces white hair
* androgyny: Induces a face that could be man or woman
* dwarfism: induces shorter slaves
* gigantism: Induces taller slaves
* genetic hyper fertility
* heightened fertility
* superfetation:
* gigantomastia
* macromastia
* lipedema
* large genitals
* hyperleptinemia
* hypoleptinemia
* myotonic dystrophy
* mytonic hypertrophy: increases muscle mass
* NCS: Once administered, your slave slowly regresses in age. Cannot be removed

## Passing on Genes

Genes can be passed onto offspring if their parents have that specific gene. Once the player purchases the gene lab upgrade, they can see what kind of genes their child has in the incubator menu when choosing which kid to keep in the incubator. The child can be examined for its genes on its second week of pregnancy. There are three colors which can be seen/

* Red: Represents a "bad" gene
* Green: Represents a "good" gene
* Yellow: Will carry the gene, but it will be dormant. Meaning that the gene will not affect the child. It must be induced through remote surgery.  Note: Passing on the yellow gene is not guaranteed, even if both parents have the dormant gene. It must be activated through remote surgery if you want it passed on.

The red and green genes essentially mean that the child will carry those genes and will affect that child's traits. Yellow will mean that the child can carry it, but it must be "activated" in the remote surgery. The quote on quote "bad" and "good" is subjective. For example, the higher fertility gene will display in green text, however gigantism will be in red text. These two colors do not affect the chances of the child receiving that gene. However, there are cases when the gene will always be yellow for certain genders. For example, girls will always have yellow text for large genitals since they don't have genitals while boys will get a green text for the large genitals trait. This will also work in reverse where boys will always get a yellow text for higher fertility since they can't conceive children.

## Applications

The gene lab is an important upgrade if the player wants to have slaves which have similar genes that they want. For example, it is possible to have children that is pre-dispositioned to have large genitals (if they have any), inclined to gain muscle mass easier, and have more children upon conception, and to be taller upon birth. There are many combinations that players can try to achieve a child of their liking.

## Cloning

By purchasing the gene lab, the player can also start to clone their slaves. To create a clone, the player has to select the genetic source and then choose a surrogate slave to give birth to the clone. This is all done in the gene lab window in the pent house.
