MAIN GUIDE
MARKING GUIDE
(you are here)
Gene Classes
Recessive Gene (-nA/nn) , "Normal"/Niether dom or recessive (nA) , Dominant Gene (AA) , Inverse (⤼ ) , Double Lineage/Dominant (+)
​
"REGULAR" "NORMAL" GENES ( nA )
Regular genes here are just genes that are uneffected by by being dominant, recessive, or inverse. Normal genes are what every general suka is given, and in certain cases (such as breeding, special abandoned cages, and USD purchases) getting other classes of genes may prove difficult. However, all different classes will end up not only effecting breeding chances, but will also effect the look, color, informal nickname and properties in some manner.
​
Not all markings inherently have Dominant, Recessive, or Inverse properties that can be determined by the user themselves. Please make sure the marking actually HAS a dominant/recessive/inverse example & guide before using these other classes. If you suspect there's been an error, let admins know!
​
DOMINANT GENES ( AA )
Dominant Genes will cause a suka to experience an alternate form of a marking that already exists, or it may simply double your chances of passing a regular gene. Dominant (AA / all capitalized) genes will increase coverage of markings or enhance one of their unique properties. While most Dominant gene will simply pass the "regular" version of the gene, it has much better chances of appearing (per offspring / bigger litter = better chances) over recessive or inversed genes.
Dominance in genes will be expressed directly from breedings/rolls, like so: "Red w/ Collar, Urajiro, Dominant Somatic" or "Red w/ Collar, Urajiro, Somatic+" is also acceptable if the pheno is long. In the "Genotype" area you should see something like "Cc/Co/Uj/ST"
​
-
"Dominant" Genes have 5-12% of passing (remaining dominant) / pup
-
"Non-Dominant/Regular" Genes have a 10-25% of passing (as the regular/non-dom form) / pup
​
RECESSIVE GENES ( -nA / nn )
Recessive Genes will cause a suka to experience an alternate form of a marking that already exists. Similar to how Dominant genes allow a marking to spread further or be more prominent, Recessive (-) genes will reduce the coverage or change the look of the marking to be much more minimal. If a suka already shows a recessive gene, they have the opportunity to pass it to their offspring, but "regular" or dominant genes will have more chances to stomp out the recessive gene present.
​
nn x nn = 30% chance of passing / offspring
nn x nA = 15% chance of passing / offspring
nA x nA = 5% chance of appearing at random
nA x AA = 1-2% chance of appearing at random
AA x AA / nn x AA = 0% chance of appearing
​
INVERSE GENES ( ⤼nA / ⤼AA / ⤼-nA )
Inverse Genes are very rare and cause a single gene to take inverse effects, typically this will only effect color, but some genes can move placement with this gene. For example, inversed brindle would make a suka's dark brindle, a color lighter than their coat, causing something like "Reverse Brindle" in appearance. Though again, if a marking guide does not explicitly state an inversed state, do not attempt to do it yourself!
Inverse genes have varied opportunity for appearing, as it'll depend on the rarity of the marking, and if the parent genes are paired in a meaningful way. Difficult to breed for, one may turn to the Witch for potions to boost inversing genes, but there's always a price to her wares.
