DODO@Home

What is it?

DODO@Home is our unique gene-by-gene comparison calculator.

Our software accelerates genetic research on extinct species by distributing large, complex DNA analyses across, ultimately, millions of personal computers and devices around the world.

And that’s where YOU come in!

Using the respected and trusted BOINC platform, developed by Berkeley University, we invite you to download our FREE software and help us compare and contrast related species to start building a database of hereditary evolution markers and differences… in other words, help us unravel entire genome sequences of extinct creatures.

We want you to have total peace of mind, so please read our Legal & Security overview here.

How does it work?

Devices running DODO@Home are provided by individuals across the world who want to contribute to solving underlying scientific problems associated with the de-extinction process.
Once you have signed up and installed the client software on your computer or phone, our servers distribute tasks to run in the background when your device is idle. This processing does not inconvenience your normal computer usage.

How do I install it?

Using our unique software, you will be making history with us. Setting up DODO@Home on your device is simple and takes less than a minute to do. Once done, our software will run in the background, only when you’re connected to a power-supply so there’s no fear of it draining your battery (you can change these settings in the main DODO@Home platform as detailed in our Installation Guide here).

It's free, right?

Yes! Our software is completely free and the more devices we have running it, the quicker we can decode extinct animal genomes, giving us the world’s largest database. From there, our boffins will begin to ethically work towards bringing some of these creatures back to life. Thanks to your help!
