	'''Nekoka''' was founded by '''Takuya Takami Izumi''', an ambitious geneticist who set her small gene research lab's roots down in Kobe, Japan. While the company was small, its successful genetics research would earn the lab several significant grants from large donors. Five years later, though, the lab switched from a purely research-focused endeavor to an ambitious business model, pitched by Dr. Izumi himself.

Five years later, though, the lab switched from a purely research-focused endeavor to an ambitious business model, pitched by Dr. Izumi himself.

	Pitching their idea to several cosmetics companies, Dr. Izumi gathered an unprecedented amount of research behind the development of their next project. Collaborating with a popular singer of the time, famous for her love of cats, they presented Dr. Izumi’s contribution to the world—the first fully stable, fully viable, and entirely safe human animal hybrid. The first of the '''[[Lore:Felinid\|Felinids]]''' was presented as a beloved star for all the human race to see.

The first of the '''[[Lore:Felinid\|Felinids]]''' was presented as a beloved star for all the human race to see.

	Reactions were mixed, but the success was undeniable. Humans had long since had a deep fascination with the cats of their world, and the chance to further that fascination was something no price tag could ever dissuade. The scientific community was ecstatic to see how Dr. Izumi and his team had achieved what many had only dreamed of. However, many lamented and criticized the company's decision to keep its methods relatively discreet for many years. Within a few years, Nekoka also began to sell their technology to competitors openly. Business rivals like WOLFE Industries called into question the legitimacy and safety of the product, but even they could not deny the success that Dr. Izumi had achieved.

 To the DSM, a distinct species requires a radically distinct means of treatment. All families of slime persons are filed under the label [[Lore:Slimeperson|"Slime person,"]] for example, as their biochemistry requires what most species find innately toxic. The specific species names are mostly a cultural artifact of the time, e.g. [[Lore:Podperson|"Podpeople"]] covers all plant persons because of their prevalence and traceable human origins, rather than calling them all "plant people." The vast majority of carbon-based humanoids fall under a few classes, informally called the "Generics": Humanoid, Anthromorph, Anthromorphic Insect, {{TooltipInline|Insectoid|We are just as confused as to why there are two varieties of generic insect.}}. "Aquatic" is often mistranslated as "Akula (Generic)", despite many key difference between mainline [[Lore:Azula|Azuleans]]. "Human" and "Felinid" are distinct for cultural reasons, mostly grandfathered into distinct specieshood. The main difference between a "Human" and a "Humanoid" is the patient's intent to be seen as Human, so typically bone structure or a standard range of human skin colors. Of note, older Asimovian AI lawsets drew a critical distinction around the term "Human."

 The first genemods, following early work with [[wikipedia:CRISPR|CRISPR-Cas9]], relied on custom-crafted viruses who, upon infecting a host, would target specific sequences in the victim's DNA and alter them, either rewriting them on the spot or injecting an extra length of codons. Later nanite-based genemods would follow this pattern of freefloating agents distributed through a body and arbitrarily altering cells until a probabilistic threshold is reached, within the order of minutes. Longer treatments would use an external coordinator to ensure the nanites touched roughly every cell, but statistically, letting them freefloat for a few minutes had already been enough.

 Even with natural evolution, every single gene expression is a balancing act of tradeoffs. Vibrant plumage to attract mates also attracts predators. Toughened skin is much less flexible. Large muscles get in the way and reduce their range of motion. Simply having a scienceperson make the choice instead of natural selection does not negate this. Most genemods require active power, e.g. glowing, temperature control, {{TooltipInline|be tall for me|The author is drawing from personal experience.}}, and active camouflage, and so impose caloric burdens on the user. Complicated (and cheap) genemods rely on long, precise sequences of genes with little room for redundancy or error correction, making them more vulnerable to natural mutations, and with more disastrous results. Expensive genemods can often optimize many of the tradeoffs towards unimpactful consequences you'd hardly notice. '''Genetic Instability''' is a blanket medical term for the various symptoms of improper or excessive genemodding, which includes genemods attempting to edit the same codons, and mathematically adding up to a strong imbalance of specific bases, and fragility from too many splices on a single chromosome. Genetic Instability often manifests symptoms contradictory to continued mortality, including melting, malformations, combustion, and resonant mismatch. Consult your doctor about your genemod regiment and how your gene expressions interplay.

In the simplest terms, the objective of a genemod is to make a person different. Insurancewise, these are classified as either Functional or Aesthetic, and as Essential or Bullshit.

			Functional Genemods adjust one of the following, or {{TooltipInline\|they don't\|Genemods that are not a protected class of Functional can still be declared Functional, through great need, bribery, or other channels.}}:

			* Survivability - Adapting the user to their environment. Radiation resistance, temperature adaption, et cetera.
			* Stability - Mitigating the downsides of other genetic expressions, and adding redundancy to make their genes less fragile.
			* Synchronization - Bridging the gap between two conflicting gene expressions. Perhaps they are too close in the genetic sequence to be stable, so need to be spaced out. Perhaps they modify the same body part, and thus need to resolve their merge conflicts.
			* Self-Acceptance - Sometimes a person is not pleased in their body. If their dysphoria affects their quality of life, and is not simply "it'd be neat," they can apply to have their self-affirming care qualifying as Functional.
			* Self-Resonant - Sometimes a body just doesn't feel right, despite wanting to to be perfect. Resonance is independent of the conscious mind, so may be subject to phantom pains and similar phenomenon. Self-Resonant affirming Genemods are meant to ensure the body is the best host for the Resonance it is intended to host.
			* Scale - Some genes produce a feature that's not the right size. Turns out that installing ant antennae installs ant-sized antennae. These need to be scaled up, with perhaps additional {{TooltipInline\|engineering\|See the [[wikipedia:Square–cube_law\|Square–cube_law]], etc.}} to compensate.

			If Genemodding is so popular, so ''patented'', so locked up in legal turmoil, why does the Nova Sector stations have genetics research? Because the Nova Sector also has anomalies that aren't found in stable space. Much of science is trying known things in unknown conditions, and the Genetics department is no exception. Psychoreactive interference stemming from Indecipheres permits a surprising number of abandoned genetic expressions deemed too unstable to be, in one researcher's terms, "gently coaxed into a workable state, as if the Mother wanted you to flourish despite your flaws and was able to take you from nearly perfect to absolute perfection."

			Cynically, this also circumvents patents, in that "do this simple process but in the anomalous effects observed here" is legally not the well-patented "do this simple process."

			Elephant in the vault: Nanotrasen knows what a {{TooltipInline\|[[Wikipedia:chinchilla\|chinchilla]]\|Chinchilla chinchilla chinchilla chinchilla chinchilla chinchilla chinchilla chinchilla chinchilla chinchilla.}} is. Nanotrasen doesn't need to store the blueprint of a chinchilla for future generations in a post-apocalypse to rebuild from first principles. What Nanotrasen, and the galaxy, don't know, is how DNA reacts to anomalous conditions in cramped conditions. Across each of the dozens of Anomalous Zones across SolFed, medical research companies fight to assess the long-term dangers of that specific zone on a wide variety of compacted DNA samples.

			In the core of the Tsyogal Anomaly, for example, acute radiation applied to near-stasised DNA did not initially damage the strands, but once the DNA was removed from the radiation, and then the anomaly's effects, the DNA "spontaneously" dissolved, having accumulated radiation damages over the entire exposure despite being functionally inert. This directly led to advances in Stasis Bed technology, applying proper light wavelengths to induce a limited amount of consciousness and, importantly, the safeword auto-eject detection, allowing the stasised patient to resist the effects and exit on their own terms.

			Who knows what the insidious, psychoconscious-altering anomalies of the Nova Sector will have on these human DNA samples?

			In the Nova Sector's anomalous radius, these jigsaw edges are a fair bit more flexible, and as such, a surprising number of organs can be strongly infused in a stable, non-lethal way. Investigations are still ongoing as to why the Nova Sector in particular has an easier time of finding stable infusions, but once an infusion is discovered, coreworlds can reverse engineer the alterations and market them as novelties. Several strains are already widely available, including the numerous flavors of Niche-Adapted Lungs.
