1. Gene Suppression --- substrate
In the given substrate, a peculiar organism has appeared that seems to favor its pink variant rather than its blue one. Can you develop a virus that will suppress the pink variant but keep the blue one alive?
Difficulty: PhD
Max cells inserted: 1
Pink initial cells: 0
Blue initial cells: 100-
Conditions satisfied for: 200h
Cell types: Phagocyte, Devorocyte and Virocyte
Substrate starts at 78.0h
2. Artificial Enhancement --- substrate
These basic swimmers have been placed into an environment harsher than they can bare, and are soon to be extinct. Can you modify them to allow them to survive without using Flagellocytes in your genome?
Difficulty: PhD
Max cells inserted: 1
Infected initial cells: 100-
Conditions satisfied for: 250h
Cell types: All except Flagellocyte and Stemocyte (to avoid cell farting)
HINT (no peeking!): Try converting the dumb swimmers into smart swimmers...
Substrate starts at 1492.2h
3. Transgenesis --- substrate
The kite swimmers on this substrate have been decimated by the rogue predator species! Can you find a way to make the kite swimmers immune to the predators' attacks?
Difficulty: Superhuman AI (or pain in the backside, depending on your point of view)
Max cells inserted: 1
Light blue initial cells: 100-
Red initial cells: 0
Conditions satisfied for: 300h
Cell types: Lipocyte and Virocyte
SPECIAL RULE: You are allowed to use the Optical Tweezers and the Cell Boost tool in the substrate, but NO killing the predators one by one!!! That defeats the purpose of the challenge.
HINT 1: Look up the term transgenesis if you're stuck
HINT 2: To protect against the predators, the organism will need Keratinocytes. But as we don't have access to them, we must find them somewhere else in the substrate
Substrate starts at 97.2h
Good luck
