Welcome to GeneMaster Project:
Gene Master Project is intended to develop gerbil's gene pattern software in order to predict poosible fur gene pattern of off spring.
Ideally, if detail record is made for several generation of gerbils, user of this software should be able to predict future generations of gerbils's fur pattern.
Of course, most of gerbil owner does not have detail breed records. So, most likely, user of this software need to use rough guess mode of this software.
File was scanned by NAV 6.0.2 System Requirement: PPC Machine with MacOS9 Previous Version 1.5.0 Current version 1.5.2 07/27/05 Please download PPC Mac Version Here 1.66MB includes both OS9, OSX version. |
Once you enter to the main screen you have to select Gene Type for both male and female If you want to learn meaning of these gene code, or to find out about your gerbils gene code, please go to The Gerbils Color Palette |
As A Gerbil Owner We had following gerbils fur pattern:

Rough Gene Sequencer will sequence commonly found of gene combination at local pet shop or show. If you are using this software for academic purpose and you are certain of breed's gene pool (3~4 generation and up) You should sequence it manually since Rough Gene Sequencer will sequence diverse gene pool in order to gain maximum possibility. This is possible gene entry for each Locus gene. |

Once Computation is complete, it will give you all possible sequence of gene. Which you may, Copy, Paste, Cut, Save, or Print. Due to the large calculation task, some match up will requires a lot of time to compute. Please be patient. |

Note - While it will print out all possible gene sequence, some sequence is consider as defect, and may not born or survive at all . Please refer to the gerbil genetic article at National Gerbil Society |

FAQ.
Q. Is Universal Binaries version planned? A.Yes, and No... We need to find some justification to invest on Universal Binaries Version... So far, I haven't see any reason. We have to see what happened on future OSX... let say how X.5 or X.6 and beyond will treat older code form PPC Mac. Q. What is up and coming feature for next version 1.6 or 2.0? A. We are considering possibility of adding fur pattern count or percentage... but it has been done on other Gerbil Color software.. so it is not strong possibility. We are still open for suggestion. Q. Do you make Windows version? A. We have been testing Windows version for sometimes now, and we will likely post Windows version near future. Q. Can I download source code? A. No, it is not Open Source Project Q.Can I use it for my study? A.Yes, please state credit somewhere in your paper. Also, to be accurate on result, please always print out full gene list. Q. Can I receive technical support? A. If you donate fund to this shareware, you will receive support via email. Q. Is there 68K version? A.Not at this point, if there is number of request, We will compile 68K version. Q.Do you make Japanese version or other language version? A.No, there is no plan for porting software to other language |
*************************************************************************************************
What new in version 1.5.2 Fix minor bug, add number output of possible combination. What new in version 1.5.0 Exception error which was common on version 1.0.x has been fixed with new memory array. Consequently, memory requirement has increased to 32MB. Gene Rough sequencer has been added. It will sequence 40 known fur and eye pattern. Disabled registration modal, it is honor based system now. Known Issue: Once a while, software experience OutofException Debug error. What new in version 1.0.7 Number of bug has been fixed What new in version 1.0 10/13/2000 Guess feature is removed. and scheduled to appear on next version Testing on most of PPC is done, including Clone. There is so far no problem found with any machine operating above OS9 What new in version 1.0beta1 10/10/2000 Guess feature is disabled at this point. Full gene list feature is disabled at this point Known issue: Full list feature engine is not optimized yet, it will require significant CPU power to compute full gene sequence. Prepare to have long coffee break when you are going to compute full sequence. |
Gene Master will let you test possible gene combination pattern of offspring from 2 adult gerbils.
It is shareware for US$5.00~ per machine which you can pay via mail or Paypal
