# Fictional Genetic Mutation Naming Convention (FGMNC)
|
|
|
|
1. **Prefix for Mutation Type:**
|
|
- **Substitutions:** "S-" (e.g., S-A23G for adenine to guanine at position 23)
|
|
- **Deletions:** "D-" (e.g., D-T546 for thymine deletion at position 546)
|
|
- **Insertions:** "I-" (e.g., I-GT150 for guanine-thymine insertion at position 150)
|
|
- **Duplications:** "X-" (e.g., X-C78 for cytosine duplication at position 78)
|
|
- **Frameshifts:** "F-" (e.g., F-292 for a shift occurring at position 292)
|
|
|
|
2. **Simplified Positioning System:**
|
|
- Instead of a "c." or "p." prefix, use **a single capital letter** to denote the sequence type:
|
|
- **G** (Genome-wide)
|
|
- **D** (DNA coding sequence)
|
|
- **P** (Protein level)
|
|
- Example: **S-D89T** means a substitution at position 89 in the DNA sequence, changing to thymine.
|
|
|
|
3. **More Pronounceable Structure:**
|
|
- Instead of using arrows or symbols, it follows a simple left-to-right flow.
|
|
- Example: Instead of "c.123A>G," it becomes **S-D123AG** (Substitution in DNA, Adenine to Guanine at position 123).
|
|
- This makes it readable and easy to say out loud.
|
|
|
|
4. **Optional Severity Tags:**
|
|
- To quickly indicate effect strength, an optional severity level can be added:
|
|
- **L** (Low impact)
|
|
- **M** (Moderate impact)
|
|
- **H** (High impact)
|
|
- Example: **S-P200TR-H** (Severe protein substitution at position 200, threonine to arginine)
|
|
|
|
## Examples
|
|
|
|
|
|
| Name | Common Name | Description |
|
|
|------------------|---------------------|------------------|
|
|
| **S-D112AG** | **"Flux Shift"** | Alters neural conductivity, enhancing reaction speed but causing instability in emotional processing. |
|
|
| **D-P78C** | **"Hollow Bone"** | Removes a structural protein, resulting in lighter, hollow bones—ideal for agility but more fragile. |
|
|
| **I-GT300** | **"Nightseer"** | Inserts a genetic sequence enhancing low-light vision, making eyes reflective and hyper-sensitive. |
|
|
| **X-D29T** | **"Titan's Call"** | Duplicates muscle fiber growth genes, drastically increasing strength at the cost of endurance. |
|
|
| **F-P500M** | **"Shifter's Veil"** | A frameshift mutation altering skin protein synthesis, allowing temporary camouflage in certain environments. |
|
|
| **S-P200TR-H** | **"Frostborn"** | A severe substitution mutation that enables cold resistance but reduces heat tolerance. |
|
|
| **D-G402** | **"Echo Mind"** | A deletion in cognitive processing genes, allowing the brain to reroute signals for enhanced memory recall. |
|
|
|
|
### Examples in Practice
|
|
1. **"The elite soldiers of the Titan Guard are all carriers of the X-D29T mutation, granting them immense physical power at the cost of rapid fatigue."**
|
|
2. **"Rumors say the night scouts of the Outer Colonies possess I-GT300, a mutation allowing them to see in near-total darkness."**
|
|
3. **"Scientists discovered a rare individual with the D-G402 Echo Mind mutation, able to recall memories with perfect clarity but struggling with real-time decision-making."**
|
|
4. **"The Frostborn, those with S-P200TR-H, thrive in frozen tundras but collapse in intense heat."** |
