First version of the UNMASK Lymphoma part 1: RNA matchmaking has gone live

On the 26th of June a first version of the RNA matchmaking game has gone live on a German Gaming Portal. It can be played both on PC and on you mobile phone (landscape). This is a citizen science game which means that while you are gaming you are also benefiting science. In this game you can help our studies by finding the best targets for a specific small RNA molecule called microRNA-150. We found that this small RNA molecule plays an important role in B-cell lymphoma but we don’t now how exactly. We hope the gaming community can help by playing this game and find how and where this RNA molecule binds to other RNAs and so help explain how this RNA molecule functions. This game is the joint work of the game developing team at https://gamesforhealth.net/ and members of LRG Anke van den Berg and Joost Kluiver.

Currently this game can be played via this link (German): https://www.jetztspielen.de/spiel/unmask-lymphoma-part-1-rna-matching
