Phylo

is an experimental video game about multiple sequence alignment optimisation. It was developed by McGill Centre for Bioinformatics and it was intially released in November 2010 as a Flash game.
This game was designed to help players solve pattern-matching puzzles that represent nucleotide sequences of different phylogenetic taxa. Players attempt to create the highest point value score for each set of sequences by matching as many colors as possible and minimize gaps. High-scoring player alignments are collected as data and sent back to the McGill Centre for Bioinformatics.
