  "textContent": "In the rule “Genetic Engineering”, replace this bulleted item:\n\n\n* For each set of parallel genes, publicly roll {0, 1}. If the two genes are different, then a roll of 0 means to keep the Recipient’s gene, while a roll of 1 means to keep the Donor’s gene. If the two genes are the same, then a 0 means to keep the original gene, and a 1 means to keep a gene improved by one level of quality from the original gene (For example, A>B, or B>C, and so on). If a gene is Z, the gene one level of quality improved from it is instead Z.\n\n\nwith these bulleted items:\n\n\n* Choose one set of parallel genes where the two genes are the same, known as the Improvement Set. If there is no such set, skip the remaining steps of this action.\n* Choose one set of parallel genes where the Donor gene is at least one level of quality higher than the Recipient gene. If there is such a set, this is the Spliced Set, otherwise there is no Spliced Set for this action.\n* Choose one set of parallel genes where the Donor gene is at least one level of quality higher than the Recipient gene, but not the same set as the Spliced Set. If there is such a set, this is the Rotation Set, otherwise there is no Rotation Set for this action.\n* Choose exactly one of the following, where in each parallel set of genes, the lower-quality gene is kept except where otherwise specified by the action taken below:\n** Keep a gene from the Improvement Set improved by one level of quality from the original gene (For example, A->B, or B->C, and so on). If a gene is Z, the gene one level of quality improved from it is instead Z. \n** Keep the Donor’s gene from the Spliced Set (if it exists).\n** Swap the position of the Rotation Set (if it exists) with either of the other two Sets.\n* Create a new Bacterium in the same Petri Dish as the Recipient and Donor with the genes kept by the process, in the same position as the initially compared genes except where modified by the previous steps.",
