A smart phone game which results in players analysing real cancer data is being developed with the aim of discovering new treatments.
Cancer Research UK has hired Dundee-based Guerilla Tea to build "GeneGame".
The charity has already enlisted the help of the public to classify variations in vast amounts of gene data using its site Cell Slider.
