SciUniverse - Express sfGFP in a cell-free system: leaderboard

Physical task family in C5R's SciUniverse Level 1 (2026-09-24): adapt a cell-free protein synthesis kit to limited reagents, a 37 C minimum plate temperature and a four-hour window, instructing a human operator at the Facility-0 lab. Passes when every sfGFP well turns visibly green, with at least four wells and green-free no-template controls. One attempt per model, so each score is 0 or 100. Pass@1 (%), higher is better.

Metric: Pass@1 (%). Source: c5r.net. Saturation forecast: Around February 2027. 6 models tracked.
