    In recognition of Suzanne Eaton's contributions to science, her years at EMBL, and the tragic circumstances of her death, the EMBL flags will be flown at half-mast today. Suzanne's passion, leadership, mentorship & scientific acumen will be deeply missed. bit.ly/2ScDOmU

    DeepMind and EMBL-EBI have released the predicted structures of over 200 million proteins covering almost every organism that has had its genome sequenced. These are now openly available to the scientific community via the AlphaFold Database. embl.org/news/technolog…

    Before a #fruitfly takes its first step, its cells have already travelled great distances to form future body patterns and structures. The coordinated movements of cell nuclei can be seen here, as the #embryo developed into larvae over 15h. 🔬: Hufnagel lab

    Merry microscopic Christmas! Clumped up proteins from fruit flies glow in festive form. In this composition of Drosophila cells you can see the cytoskeleton protein tubulin (grey/red), DNA (blue/yellow) and an overexpressed protein tagged with GFP (green). 📷: Catarina Carmo
