Geniverse was free, web-based software for learning heredity and genetics by breeding and studying virtual dragons. Its interactive models used real genes to support simulated experiments and generate genetic data. Dragon genes and traits were based on anole lizards, mice and fruit flies. Activities covered heredity and genetic diseases, asking students to produce evidence and present findings through writing and classroom scientific argumentation. Teachers were expected to guide the work and connect it with real-world genetics. The project described audiences across middle school, high school, higher education and informal learning, with high school biology as its stated focus. Concord reported effects on science knowledge and evidence-based argumentation, while noting classroom implementation influenced outcomes and only 25% of students in one study reached the minimum level. Geniverse has been retired because it became too difficult to maintain after National Science Foundation funding ended. Its Lab resource ran in a browser, including listed Chrome, Safari, Firefox, Internet Explorer and Edge versions.
