Fold Spacer lets you fly through protein structures (Weekend project #2). It’s my first game: I originally set out to build a racer with structures as the tracks, but was a little too crazy. So it became this instead. You can upload your own structures. 🌐 martin-steinegger.github.io/Fold-Spacer/

🧬 Diatoms are an extraordinarily diverse group of photosynthetic organisms, with tens of thousands of described species. Yet technical challenges still limit large-scale diatom genome production. EBP projects and biodiversity genomics R&D teams are working to solve them. 🌊🔬 #Diatoms #Biodiversity
Collage of microscopic images showing the remarkable diversity of diatoms. The slide title reads, “Why Is Sequencing Diatom Genomes So Difficult?” with the word “Difficult” highlighted in yellow. The background contains multiple light microscope photographs of different diatom species displaying a wide range of shapes and forms, including elongated needle-like cells, circular forms, rectangular chains, ornate geometric structures, and filamentous colonies. Some cells appear golden-brown due to photosynthetic pigments, while others show intricate silica patterns visible under magnification. The collage emphasizes the extraordinary morphological diversity found across diatoms.
