EteRNA

What is EteRNA?

EteRNA is a citizen science game that empowers players to design RNA molecules for medical research by solving intricate puzzles. Through gameplay, participants unlock access to a virtual lab where they can contribute to challenges that aim to invent novel medicines. The game leverages the collective efforts of its global community to create the first large-scale library of synthetic RNA designs. These player-generated solutions have the potential to reveal groundbreaking principles for designing RNA-based switches and nanomachines - innovative systems capable of seeking out and controlling living cells and disease-causing viruses. By interacting with thousands of fellow players and receiving real-time experimental feedback, individuals can pioneer a revolutionary approach to scientific discovery and development
