Welcome to PhyloGenome!
Welcome to PhyloGenome, where science and gaming converge to create an innovative learning experience. PhyloGenome is an active learning platform that blends genomics with the excitement of a collectible cards and strategic game play. Students dive into the world of genome sequencing, assembly, and annotation while simultaneously enhancing their teamwork, communication, and conceptual understanding.
Our Origin
PhyloGenome emerged from the decade-long success of the Genome project, proposed to undergraduates at the Faculty of Biosciences of the Universitat Autònoma de Barcelona. Inspired by the Phylo game, a crowd sourcing, open access, trading cards game, we’ve integrated its captivating game dynamics into our Genome project, creating a multi-faceted educational experience.
