Complete Genome

It is interesting to note that the order of genes in the norn genome are not according to their genetic type, they are grouped by other groups such as thinking and reproduction. The list consists of a vast table showing all genes you could find in a norn with all possible genes. Those genes unique to PMN, Ron, and Forest norns are indicated and coloured.

Note that the hatchery norns only vary in pigment and appearance genes, so a list of their genes will show near identical genomes, Mum3 and Dad3 are both replaced by PMN in later versions of Creatures with some different and new genes.

Thanks go to geNorNics for originally compiling the norn genome, whose data upon which I have created the list.

This table is a general guide to the data:

GENE NUMBER RANGES COLOUR
KEY		 GENES SETS
0 black The Header gene
1 black The Half-lives gene
2 - 43 Pink

basic movement

 SET 1
44 - 86 Yellow-green 

drive-related
88 - 112 Magenta stimuli & punish/reward system
113 - 122  Blue-green brain lobes SET1
123- 129  Blue-green learning response
130 - 141 Blue-green instincts
142 - 148, 308 Purple digestion & glucose cycle
149-151 Blue-green instincts SET2
152 - 164, 172, 242, 313 Red reproduction
165 - 175 Dark gray ageing / death SET 1
176 - 218 Pink emotional movement SET 2
219 - 245 Dark blue immunity / disease / pain
246 - 256 Pink emotion - related movement SET 3
257 - 273 age - related movement
274 - 281 Yellow alcohol-related
282 - 292 Pale blue stress-effects
293 - 312 Pale gray instincts
309 - 312 Dark gray ageing / death SET 1
314 - 320 Orange Injectable chemical
321 - 344 White new genes - see this page for details

Note - pigment & appearance genes are randomly spread throughout entire genome. They are coloured black to mark them in an obvious way.

8, 16, 32, 63, 77, 81, 83, 87, 116, 192, 221, 222, 227, 294, 297, 300
Genes 172, 242 and  313  seem misplaced are all related to reproduction but are placed in strange places. Gene 308 is a gene that was forgotten in the release of some versions of the game, hence is in a strange part of the genome.
