Dino Run
A fast browser runner built in this site's style: sprint along a genomic sequence track, jump over mutation variant blocks, duck under splice arches, and keep the reading frame moving.
Feathered genomic expedition
Jump blocks, duck arches, and find your rhythm. A playful genomics riff, not a biological simulation.
Ready — tap, Space, or Jump to start
How to Play & Controls
Jump: Press Space, ↑, or W. On mobile touch screens, tap or swipe up.
Rhythm & fairness: A jump pressed within 120 ms before landing is buffered. Spacing includes a full jump and recovery time even at maximum speed. Practice is gentler and does not update your classic best. Copy a challenge to replay the same seeded course.
Genomics riff: Variant blocks, tandem-repeat stacks, splice-site arches and “bp” distance are playful metaphors. Mutations are not inherently harmful obstacles, and the dinosaur is an illustration, not a paleontological reconstruction.
Duck: Press ↓ or S. On mobile, swipe down or hold the Duck button.
Obstacles: Leap over low variant blocks and tandem repeats; duck underneath high splice-site junction arches.
Pause & Restart: Press P or Enter to toggle pause; click Restart at any time.
