'''[[Gene Strands]] (GS)''' are [[Resources|'''resources''']] that can be used to purchase various [[Upgrades#Gene Strand Upgrades|'''upgrades''']].
GS and GS upgrades are not lost after attacking a [[Planets|'''planet''']], but entering a '''[[Black Hole]]''' will cause the player to lose all GS upgrades and transform the unspent GS into [[Resources#Dark Matter|Dark Matter]]
New GS can be obtained by killing a percentage of a planet's population. GS can reach [[Large Numbers|'''large numbers''']] in early game, which are displayed using [[Large Numbers#Abbreviations|abbreviations]] or [[Large Numbers#Scientific Notation|scientific notification]], if it has been enabled in the settings menu.

This can be increased to 2% by researching '''[[Schroedinger's Gene]]''' at the '''[[Dark Matter Institute]]'''.
