Gene Modification Tokens (GMTs)
Define what Genetic Modification Tokens (GMTs) are, and what they can be used for (gene mods, unaltering, changing stable name). Discuss where to get GMTs (voucher exchange, buy upgrades, Candy/Sea Ponies). The bulk of the information about GMTs should be located here, with links directing here from other pages where GMTs are mentioned. Remember to link to other articles/subsections as needed.
Unaltering Your Horses
Define what unaltering is (uses a GMT). Note limitations: you can only unalter one you've bred; breeding quality does not change due to unaltering (a horse that failed Breeding Advice before will still fail). Discuss why you might or might not want to unalter a horse. Remember to link to other articles/subsections as needed.
Using the Gene Mod Treatment (GMT) Lab
This subsection discusses how to use the GMT lab. Discuss how to choose a horse from the dropdown menu at top (and bottom) of the page, and how to access the Lab directly from a horse's page. Describe how to make the allele changes and discuss chimera management. Remember to link to other articles/subsections as needed, particularly for the chimeras since they have their own article in Horse Color Genetics category.
(Merging to create a chimera could be under its own header, and linked to from the chimera page. Explain that the resulting chimera gets all the qualities of the primary horse and only the color genetics of the secondary horse. Things like breeding and showing ability come from the primary horse alone, those qualities are not an average or mixing of the two horses.)

Cloning Horses
Define cloning, and what differences a clone will have from its parent. Discuss which horses can be cloned, and the ramifications of cloning a horse more than once. Remember to link to other articles/subsections as needed.

Boosting Horses
Boosting a horse increases its breeding ability. Discuss the costs, pros, and cons of boosting, and why a player might want to. Remember to link to other articles/subsections as needed.

Max Out Ability
New feature, costs five GMTs. Not the same as boosting, does not decrease era and makes the horse the best that its parents could have produced naturally. Cannot make a horse better than it could have come out by chance. Also increases showing ability, not just breeding ability like boosting does.
If you are planning to also boost a horse do your max out ability before using your boost token!
