You start in Genetics and get to work on people's genes. The main thing you're meant to do is to find superpowers and <del>sell</del> give them to the appropriate people, such as the [[Chain_of_Command#Heads_of_Staff|Heads of Staff]], the [[Security]] and the [[Engineer|Engineers]].

'''Bare minimum requirements:''' Don't give away Hulk to the [[Assistant|greytide]].<br>
'''Base skills:''' Know whether a given mutation should be disabled as soon as it comes up, stay hidden on a disk, or be distributed and to whom.<br>
'''Advanced skills:''' Know [[Infections|how to handle viruses]] to safely create and use CRISPR charges, and for when the monkeys ''inevitably'' get sick. Know how to efficiently use chromosomes, and to have ''Hulk'' and ''Fire Breath'' injectors ready before a [[Guide_to_malfunction|malf]] blow your consoles up or [[xenos]] invade your lab.

The genetics lab is located in Science.

==Genetic Research==
Your main job is to manipulate the DNA of humanoids to discover useful gene mutations.
What you choose to use the results for is up to you, but the [[Research Director]] and the [[Assistant|Tide]] are likely to come asking for mutations.

In practice, you will mainly recreate DNA pairs of ''A''s and ''T''s, and of ''C''s and ''G''s, guess when both elements of a pair are missing, use the [[File:Gene_scanner.gif]] genetic sequence analyzer, or use the ''Joker'' (or wait for its 20 min cooldown to finally end). Left-clicking to roll forward, right-clicking to roll backward.

You will gradually unlock beneficial and negative mutations, and get a large choice of mutations you can gift or sell. For example:
*''Telekinesis'' to help Engineers and [[Atmospheric_Technician|Atmos. Techs]], and [[Cargo_Technician|Cargo]] do their heavy lifting (canisters and crates) and use computers despite their [[Clothing_and_Accessories#Insulated_Gloves|insuls]] and H.A.U.L. gauntlets.
*''Insulated'' to Engineers, so they can swap their chunky insuls for fire-retardant [[Clothing_and_Accessories#Black_Gloves|black gloves]]
**Security would also benefits from ''Insulated'' <del>when</del> if the silicons <del>eventually</del> go rogue.
**Additionally, other Science staff members could assist the engineers with broken cables, or give back the insuls they took in Tech Storage.
*''Mind Reader'' and ''Transcendent Olfaction'' could help the [[Detective]] in an investigation.
*''Pig Latin'' if you want to bully the [[Curator]].
*''Glowy'' to offer some degree of protection against [[Nightmare|Nightmares]], feed Podpeople, or bully Shadowpeople.
*Then there is <del>''Space Ada''</del> ''Temperature Adaptation'' and ''Pressure Adaptation''. Expect a lot of people to come only for those two.
*''Hulk'' is also extremely useful, and as dangerous. You should print a few injectors, store the mutation on disk, delete it from the computer, and give both the injectors and the disk to [[Security]] or the [[Research_Director|RD]] for safekeeping.
*If things are ''bad'', then you may consider ''Internal Martyrdom'' for those ready to die/sacrifice themselves fighting [[Nuclear Operative|NukeOps]] or the Malf's borgs. Be sure to have the consent of your patients, or the approval of at least one Head (arguably, only the Head with the right to call executions' should count — either the [[Captain]] or the [[HoS]]).
*You could also use ''Fire breath'''s incendiary power to take down filthy [[Xenos|Xenomorphs]].
*Some people enjoy the benefits of ''Gigantism'' and ''Dwarfism'', as well.
**If you're unlucky (or lucky?), you may even have [[Chaplain|''that'' guy]] as a client — the Burdened God worshipper, asking for more and more of those <del>sweet</del> disabilities you are discovering.

Another feature of the DNA scanners is to extract identities from DNA ("Enzymes"). You can then usurp someone else's identity and looks, or allow someone else to. You may also save the [[Captain]]'s if they need to perform undercover missions or to [[Revolution|hide]].

See the '''[[Guide to genetics|Guide to Genetics]]''' for a detailed guide about how it works.

==Tips==
*If someone has a cavity implanted item, you can instantly remove it by monkeying them.
*Monkeying someone who is impregnated with a [[Xenos|Alien Larva]] will cure them.
*HARSing a zombie will remove the tumor from their head, curing them!
*The Genetics DNA altering console can spit out injectors UE and UI. This means that if you get a willing volunteer, or even just human a monkey, you can run around the station changing everyone into the same person (if you do this without being antag or having people’s consent, you may get banned).
*Radiation (and [[Guide_to_chemistry#Unstable_mutagen|mutagen]]) has a very, VERY small chance to give non-negative effects.
*''Telekinesis'' allows you to keep the scanner's interface open if you put yourself (or get put) in the scanner; helpful to hide, get out, or tweak your own gene pool/identity.<br />
