Vaccine

 Choose a Species card in game with the genomic interest area Pathogen and discard it along with Vaccine.

Technological advancement

Play Technological advancement on the table facing you until it is discarded. Progress to the next sequencing technology regardless of the number of Species cards of the current sequencing generation in game facing you. For example, if you have 2 first-generation Species cards and you play Technological advancement, you may play second-generation Species cards. If you have 4 first-generation Species cards,you would be at…

Servers down

Place Servers down beneath a Species card until it is discarded. The Species card on top of Servers down cannot move regardless of its move ability. Playing Research beneath the Species card will not give it the ability to jump until Servers down is discarded.

Scientific collaboration

Choose a Species card from your hand. Your opponent shuffles all the Species cards in their hand without revealing them. Then, you choose a card from them at random. Put that card into your hand and give the one that you selected from your hand at the beginning to your opponent.

Sample contamination

Place Sample contamination on top of a Species card and discard both cards. The owner of the Species card draws cards from their deck until they reveal a Species card.

Re-sequencing

Choose a Species card from the discard pile of any player and place that card facing you in a compatible spot. If there are no compatible spots, both the Species card and Re-sequencing are discarded. Place Re-sequencing beneath the chosen Species card until it is discarded. If the Species card is moved, Re-sequencing moves with it. The sequencing generation of the Species card on top of Re-sequencing is increased by one; e.g., if it…

Research 

Place Research beneath a Species card until it is discarded. If the Species card is moved, Research moves with it. The Species card on top of Research gains the ability to jump. If the Species card could already jump, Research has no effect.

Rejected manuscript

Place Rejected manuscript beneath a Species card until it is discarded. If the Species card is moved, Rejected manuscript moves with it. At the end of the game, the points indicated in the Species card on top are not considered as Species card points. However, they do count as Sequencing technology points and Special points.
