Interested in the Biological Background?
Where DNA, RNA, and Rival Clans Collide
Every round begins inside a living cell: DNA holds the code, mRNA carries the message, and splicing decides what proteins can be built.
The split-gene and splicing mechanism discovery was recognized with the
1993 Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine.
This biology sets up the game world below: a cell battlefield of DNA and RNA, influenced by three clans with different strengths.

Battlefield: Cell with DNA & RNA
The game battlefield visualizes how transcription and splicing happen:
DNA and mRNA interact, and bases (A/U/C/G) drive matching decisions.
- DNA double helix
- mRNA strand
- A/U/C/G matching
Cell + DNA
Strategic Ecosystem
Three Clans
Each clan shifts momentum in a different way, so players must adapt their strategy every turn.
