Do you have the skills to become a master sequencer? Try to keep your runner from hitting the channel walls and help him sequence a DNA strand using solid-state nanopore technology in this electrifying and instructional game!

In nanopore sequencing, a nanometer-sized pore separates two chambers, each containing one electrode and filled with ionic solution. When a DNA base-pair is present in the nanopore, the electric current measured across the electrodes changes. Fortunately, this change is characteristic to the base-pair type (Adenine-Thymine vs. Guanine-Cytosine). Threading a DNA strand, typically at speeds of a couple kilobase-pairs (kbp) per millisecond, results in a current output that can subsequently be sequenced.

Get your runner to sequence the longest strand, top the leaderboard, and ultimately become the one and only master sequencer!
