Welcome To The EteRNA Wiki.

EteRNA is a game where players become citizen scientists,
working to better understand and predict the behavior of RNA.

Community

EteRNA has a great community. Thank you for being a part of it!

 

Scheduled Meetings

  • Dev Chat - Held every second Wednesday, 6pm EST. Learn about game development status, ask the developers questions, report issues and suggest improvements.
  • Stanford Lab - Held monthly on a Friday morning. Meet the scientists who synthesize our RNA in an actual lab! This is a live video meeting with Das lab at Stanford to talk about research, and give presentations of cool projects.  
  • EteRNA University - Live classes hosted by community members. Everybody has a skill or talent - share yours by teaching a class!

 

Contributing

  • Forum Questions - In the Get Satisfaction forums you can find answers to your questions, and start new threads for collaboration on issues and ideas.
  • Player-Created Guides - Players have discovered and created hints and tips for many types of puzzle strategies. If you get stuck, try browsing these guides for inspiration. If you found a great strategy, feel free to make a guide!
  • Issues - Did you find a bug? Is there a usability issue that you would love to see resolved? Do you have a great idea to share? Find out how to proceed!
  • Wiki Edits - Players are invited to please help expand our overview of the game and related topics. If you want to contribute and are unsure of pages to create, look for red links or review the latest activity. And we're creating a Manual of Style for consistent formatting!
  • Help Wanted - Post things here that you want help with, or would like to see filled out in the wiki!
