is it possible to use the animus to view genetic memory of using the animus to view genetic memory of using the animus?Blix1ms0ns 19:17, January 24, 2010 (UTC

is it possible to view the genetic memory of somebody who received a blood donation using the animus?Blix1ms0ns 19:17, January 24, 2010 (UTC)

No, the memory is genetic, DNA, genes, not bloody. -- D. Cello 02:25, January 24, 2010 (UTC)

well what i meant was "what if there was gene-carrying cell such as white blood cells came withthe transfusion or a white blood cell transfusion?"Blix1ms0ns 19:17, January 24, 2010 (UTC)

I tought the first one was a writing error XD Probably yes, since it's a memory anyway. And no, hite cells don't carry genes. The blood is used to transport substances throughout the body. The genes are located in DNA, RNA and cromossomes, which itself are used to create cells and the body and charactheristics as a whole. The mmory is sotred in the genetic code, and small parts of this code are used to create cells. So no, blood don't has anything to do to genes. -- D. Cello 23:02, January 24, 2010 (UTC) well what about some sort of genetic transfusion, can you access those memoryBlix1ms0ns 23:36, January 24, 2010 (UTC)

Your genes are a small core inside your cells located on your spine. It is a recipe for your bofy to function. There is no need or means to do a gentic transfusion. -- D. Cello 00:10, January 25, 2010 (UTC)

No, every cell in a body (exempting RBC's (Red Blood Cells)) contain DNA and RNA. The activation of each individual "set" of nucleic acids in a portion of DNA determine what the cell does (exempting RBC's, which I do not want to explain right now). Because the RBC's do not contain the genetic material, the blood transplant would not affect the memory. And genetic transfusion is possible, as they have "made" bacteria that produce insulin for diabetics by putting new genes into the bacteria. However they would not attempt this on a human.

Therefore specific genetic memorie segments via genetic transfusion would be impossible. Sign you posts with ~ -- D. Cello 05:21, February 5, 2010 (UTC)

Exactly! And thanks for the tip =D

Now, can we use some other person's gene containing cells to trick the animus?Blix1ms0ns 18:44, February 7, 2010 (UTC)


 * Theoretically yes, as the genes are what is required, but which cells the Animus uses would have to be taken into account. However in reference to the blood part of the talk: Doesn't Rebecca Crane insert an IV-type device into Desmond's arm? How does the device read the genes then?

The first Animus didn't have anything to be inserted, just a line of sensors in the spine region. How he read it then? Btw, don't forget: sign your posts. -- D. Cello 03:15, February 8, 2010 (UTC)


 * Whoops, fixed it. And I mean "Baby" or the Animus 2.0. Desmond gets that IV-like device in his arm, and I was wondering how that worked.


 * The Animus 00:00, February 9, 2010 (UTC) Didn't forget that time.

Yah, I got it. What I meant it's that the first animus too gives no hint as how it access the user's genes, since there is no physical intrusive method. Maybe small unhurtful needles like Dr. Octupus arms =P You have any theories? -- D. Cello 02:00, February 9, 2010 (UTC)


 * Yeah, one. The Glyphs discuss a sort of "neuron system" that Abstergo worked with. Using some form of manipulation of the brain and spinal chord, it could be possible that Abstergo discovered how to "read" the genetic memories, however there is little support for this--all speculation. It might be that more information will be released about this in the third Assassin's Creed, but I think it is doubtful because it really doesn't pertain to the plot, you know?

Nature of Controlling the Animus
Does the Animus allow the user (in the ACII series, Desmond) to control a created "virtual body" inside the memory, or is it just a video-recall of the memories of the ancestor. I wonder this because the Animus is stated to have "video game controls," and do not see how it could be possible to have a video-recall if the "memory" is different every time the memory is played. Can anyone shed some light on this? In turn I shall qualify (ie. find support for and against) any arguments made. Thanks =D

It's stated that it's like a videogame, it's manually relieved, and not watched. I believe it's something like a highway. You can do whatever you like as long as you stay within the boundaries (figurativelly speaking). -- D. Cello 03:13, February 6, 2010 (UTC)


 * You're right, it's a puppeteering program, it's stated. But there are a few things that don't support that at all--for instance, in the vault, Minerva turns her head away from Ezio to address the camera, as if Desmond's watching it like a movie, over Ezio's shoulder. AgentValentine 01:38, February 10, 2010 (UTC)

It could be that Desmond sees the events in the 3rd person POV, which would explain the "contention" cam and how Ezio and Altair would know when it is safe to come out of hiding and other stuff like that.
