Genetic Code Template

A  is a medium used for saving genetic information of a living companion. Kubrows and Kavats are able to store up to two genetic imprints which can be traded or sold.

Imprints are primarily used as "parents" for a baby Kubrow. By using two Genetic Code Templates on the Kubrow Egg before the incubation phase, the dominant traits of each imprint will be applied to the Kubrow.

Market and Manufacturing
The blueprint can be bought for and is re-usable indefinitely on Xbox One and PS4. As of the Specters of the Rail update, the blueprint is NOT available in the Market, as the button that allows purchase of blueprints is not available.

A crafted Genetic Code Template can also be bought on the Market for.

Imprinting Genetic Information
When constructed, Genetic Code Templates are empty. Tenno can store the genetic information of an active Kubrow anytime after its puppy hood, but each Kubrow can only fill two templates. Imprinting the genetic code for a Kubrow will take an hour and a half, but can be rushed for. You can only create two imprints per Kubrow.

Stored Information
The traits mentioned below are stored by a Genetic Code template, and will be passed on to a Kubrow puppy when used;
 * Coat Colors (Primary, Secondary, Tertiary)
 * Coat Pattern
 * Eye Color
 * Kubrow Breed
 * Build (Regular, Heavy or Thin)

Template Identification
A Genetic Code Template does not contain the name of the Kubrow type it was created after, initially making it difficult to determine the Kubrow type when trading. Templates do show icons that correspond to a particular Kubrow type, which can be used to identify the type of Kubrow being traded:


 * IconHuras.png Huras Kubrow - identified by Kubrow sneaking.
 * IconRaksa.png Raksa Kubrow - identified by Kubrow sitting upright.
 * IconSahasa.png Sahasa Kubrow - identified by Kubrow standing on all fours with its head low.
 * IconSunika.png Sunika Kubrow - identified by Kubrow pouncing with its front legs in the air
 * IconChesa.png Chesa Kubrow - identified by Kubrow walking and holding an item in its mouth

When Breeding A New Kubrow

 * 1) Go to the Incubator and choose the "Breeding" tab.
 * 2) Click the "Begin Incubation" button.
 * 3) Click on the empty imprint slots and add the desired imprints. You must enter two imprints; you cannot begin a combined incubation with only one imprint.
 * 4) Click "Begin A Combined Incubation" and wait 48 hours for your new Kubrow puppy.

Trivia

 * The screen of the template bears similarities to the results of a Gel electrophoresis test, which is appropriate given the template's function.
 * Prior to, imprints weren't a surefire way to determine the result of a Kubrow as recessive genes were taken into account. This has since been changed to remove recessive genes, ensuring the imprints contain all the used information.
