For example, what methods does a bio art collective utilize to secure the genetic information of a fictional hedgehog? Or did they fabricate a chimeric simulacrum of Sonic&#8217;s genome from assembled components? <em>What&#8217;s in Sonic&#8217;s genes?<\/em><\/p>\n<p>That last bit, at least, I have an answer for: Based on what&#8217;s shown in the video, Sonic&#8217;s genome evidently includes components like &#8220;velocity cells,&#8221; &#8220;exploration DNA,&#8221; and a &#8220;boost system.&#8221; You know, like hedgehogs have.<\/p>\n<p>To complete this act of blatant scientific hubris and genetic idolatry, Sega and Lom Baby have placed Sonic&#8217;s synthesized DNA within an emerald, which has itself been submerged in a milky suspension inside the translucent thoracic cavity of a chrome Sonic effigy. After all, if we couldn&#8217;t <em>see <\/em>the DNA jewel, how could we be expected to believe Sonic&#8217;s genetic essence was actually in there?<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;The DNA encapsulated within the Chaos Emerald symbolizes that &#8216;Sonic&#8217;s core&#8217; will endure, never fading, into the future,&#8221; Sega says. Great!<\/p>\n<p>Unfortunately, if you want to admire Sonic&#8217;s DNA in person, you&#8217;ll need to travel to Japan to do it.
