Gene Strands
Gene Strands (GS) are resources that boost your bacteria production per second (BPS).
GS are not lost after attacking a planet, but entering a Black Hole will transform all GS into Dark Matter.
New GS can be obtained by killing a percentage of a planet's population. GS can reach large numbers in early game, which are displayed using abbreviations or scientific notification, if it has been enabled in the settings menu.

Unspent Gene Strands provide a 1% increase to global BPS.
This can be increased to 2% by researching Schroedinger's Gene at the Dark Matter Institute.
Drop Amount
Gene Strands are earned from planet attacks. The base amount is calculated according to formula
where
- GeneStrands - how many GS will be obtained in the planet attack
- Total Population Killed - the total number of killed inhabitants since the first planet (including the current attack)
- Population Killed - the number of inhabitants killed in the current attack
- Initial Population - the initial number of inhabitants on the current planet
The amount of GS earned can also be increased by bonuses from equipped Evolved Bacteria.
Dark Matter Conversion
Upon entering a Black Hole, all unspent Gene Strands are converted into Dark Matter.
