There are still a few spaces at this year’s VIZBI - an awesome conference that showcases Design and Data Visualisation in the BioSciences

[GigaScience @GigaScience]

Looking forward to #VIZBI2022. One of our highlights of the year.

[Chris Armit @armit_chris]

Have you ever wondered how evolutionary novelties such as limblessness in amphibia, or bioluminescence in reef fish came to be? Or how do bats, which are known reservoirs of coronaviruses, manage to avoid coronavirus-related disease? My recent blog offers a few insights.

I am delighted that this important study on nephron development is now published. This is a milestone in our understanding of nephron development, with the 3D atlas models providing microanatomical resolution of the developing human kidney https://t.co/E8soeN2kDh

My recent Blog reports on this year’s Intelligent Systems for Molecular Biology (ISMB) conference. The Aquaria-COVID resource - which provides 3D structural models of all SARS-CoV-2 viral proteins - is very impressive and definitely worth a look. More details in the Blog.
