Camelina Caper, the latest project from GameTheNews.net, is a light hearted glimpse into the work of Rothamsted Research, produced for the BBSRC Great British Bioscience Festival exhibit 'Alpha & Omega; making fish oils in GM plants'. The exhibit will be first showcased at Cheltenham Science Festival Explore Zone on the 7th-8th of June 2014.
Take control of Gerald, a fish living in dangerous, jellyfish infested waters, desperately collecting chains of algae to keep the timer running and the score counter ticking, and grab the Camelina flowers for a quick boost. You’ll need speed and precision to achieve high scores, so challenge your friends to see if they’ve got what it takes to beat you!
Omega-3 fish oils are beneficial for our health and can help reduce our risk of heart attacks. However, they are a finite and limited resource. Looking into solutions for sustainable sources of omega-3 fish oils Rothamsted Research scientists have modified Camelina plants to accumulate omega-3 fish oils in their seeds.
