'''Genetic memory''' is the collection of memories of one's ancestors that are passed down into subsequent generations through DNA. It enables instinctive skills in animals, and acted as an archive of history in [[human]]s. The corporation [[Abstergo Industries]] developed the [[Animus]] virtual machine explicitly to decode and render such memories in a three-dimensional feed, allowing the reliving of past events and the discovery of hidden information.
