Want to aid in cancer research on the go?


Genes In Space is a smartphone app that allows users to analyze bits of DNA in a space-themed game. The app was released just one month ago, and users have already analyzed the amount of data that would take researchers over six months! Want to speed up cancer research even more? Download the app and get started!


[h=2]The game[/h]The mission of Genes in Space is to collect a fictional substance dubbed Element Alpha. This represents genetic cancer data, which might underpin certain types of cancer.
As a recruit of the game's 'Bifrost Industries', your mission is to collect the valuable and tradable substance Element Alpha and rise through the employee ranks by:

• Mapping your route through the densest areas of Element Alpha.
• Following your route as you fly through space collecting as much Element Alpha as you can, destroying asteroids along the way.
• Avoiding and shooting asteroids to get to the next level of Element Alpha collection.
• Upgrading your ship to become more powerful and trading your Element Alpha for more points.

If you're not a gamer (I know we're rare beasts nowadays!), prefer to keep your mobile as a phone or don't have a smartphone, then you can also help the research here by analysing slides of dye-stained cells http://www.cellslider.net/
