Chimeras?
  • krispykriskrispykris
    There was another chimera discussion, but it didn’t quite answer my question..

    I have a few horses with Chimera genes and a 50% chance of passing them on. I’ve bred said horses together a handful of times, but I’m not sure if it’s ever passed on. What does Chimera look like? Am I not seeing it/successfully breeding it because I need a license? Is it just a genotype (not visible)? Is chimera just the brindle I’m seeing? Here are the horses I’ve bred-
    (All mentioned foals I’ve produced are sired by Chimeras Shadow)

    It means there 50% of passing on either DNA set.
    Not the chance of a chimera unfortunately. You could go all season without seeing a single brindle foal from a cross. It's pretty random.

    What you see are in fact Chimeras/Brindles. You can also get Brindles from Homozygous DFP1 horses (not 100%)

    Yep. Breeding a chimera with a chimera gives you about a 1% chance of getting a chimeric foal.

    Chimeras happen when two embryos fuse together during pregnancy, which is very rare, so breeding a chimeric foal is difficult to do for that reason :)

    Oh chimera breeding chances are far from 50% I focus mainly on breeding for chimerism and it's a toughy. Here is a google doc I started to track it. As you'll see, some seasons I get 7, some seasons I get 3.

    “But I don’t want to go among mad people,” Alice remarked.
    “Oh, you can’t help that,” said the Cat: “we’re all mad here. I’m mad. You’re mad.”
    “How do you know I’m mad?” said Alice.
    “You must be,” said the Cat, “or you wouldn’t have come here.” -Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland, Chapter 6
