Digestion Difficulty: Superhuman AI Progress: Unlocks gene Gamete and further challenges Description: You've run out of the ordinary nutrients for your cells. In desperation to feed them you saved a piece of bacon from lunch but now realize your phagocytes can not feed on fat. Luckily, the research...

Gene Therapy Difficulty: Superhuman AI Progress: Opional Challenge Description: Gene therapy is a method practiced in medicine to correct a defective genome by inserting new genes. The new genes are typically inserted using a virus as a vector. A special virus is prepared that does not cause much h...

Infection III Difficulty: Superhuman AI Progress: Optional Challenge Description: The objective is once again to remove all the cells from the substrate, which now does not contain any nitrates Win Conditions: Clean the plate with only 1 cell inserted Substrate: The substrate holds a swimmer that h...
