=Gene Strand Upgrades=
[[Gene Strands|Gene Strand ]] upgrades enable and increase the [[BPS#idle BPS|'''idle BPS bonus''']], [[Tapping Combo|'''tapping combo bonus''']], as well as provide various multipliers to total [[BPC]] and increase the production of different [[Colonies|'''colonies''']].
New Gene Strand upgrades are unlocked by destroying [[Planets|'''planets''']]. Previously purchased upgrades can be sold for 2/3 of their original Price (Gene Strands), rounded down.
