Phylo-like Puzzle — DNA Alignment Game

Align short DNA sequences (colored blocks) to maximize matches and learn multiple sequence alignment basics.

Tip: drag a sequence horizontally or use ← / → buttons

How the game works — quick explanation:

Each sequence is shown as colored tiles (A/T/C/G). You can slide each sequence left or right. The game forms columns across the board; in each column, if multiple sequences have the same base, those contribute positively to the score. The goal is to line up identical bases to maximize the total matches across all columns. This is a simplified multiple sequence alignment learning toy — it teaches the idea of aligning conserved positions and how gaps/offsets affect consensus.
