About this game
Protein synthesis, run as an assembly line.
Swap one letter of a gene and at most one amino acid changes. Add or remove one letter and every codon after it is read wrong. Students run a gene from DNA to mRNA to protein, one codon at a time, and see exactly where a mutation breaks the line.
