Solving scientific problems by turning them into games is a popular strategy of citizen science projects, which use the brains of the public to do research in areas as diverse as astronomy and genetics. The latest scientific task to be gamified is the creation of genomic reference maps for cancer cells. These maps allow researchers to pinpoint areas of a cancer-cell genome that could be targeted for therapy or are potential mutation sites.
