Project / every gene, by when it arrived
Timeline of genes
Every gene with a page, grouped by the batch that added it. Newest first. Each batch is one commit, under the day it landed, so a day's work can be reviewed gene by gene. Click a gene to open its page; hover for its family. A dash instead of a picture is a gene that changes no pixel of the coat.
node wiki/tools/bake-gene-timeline.mjs writes the list. Which genes are
on it comes from the registry (the generated block of pages.js, so a
parked gene is not); when each arrived comes from git - the first commit that added
a line containing its key. A gene whose key was later renamed shows at the rename,
not its birth. The thirteen eye loci have no pages of their own and are on
Eye colour instead.
297 genes with pages, in 42 batches over 11 days.
