EteRNA: status, maker and key facts on file

Players with no science background design RNA molecules in a browser game, where each nucleotide is a colored sphere and clicking changes it and refolds the strand. A design earns points when it can assemble itself in a real laboratory, so chemistry rather than a computer model is the judge. Each week's top designs go to Rhiju Das's lab at Stanford for synthesis. The National Science Foundation funded it.

EteRNA is a game by Carnegie Mellon University and Stanford University. EteRNA is filed under Science, sector Education. Platform on file: Web. No cost is on file for EteRNA. The address on file for EteRNA could not be confirmed in November 2026.
