User annotations are visible on the 2D and 3D tracks, but they are only applied for the duration of the user session and not saved.

The AlphaFold Database provides open access to over 240 million protein structure predictions. The resource is a collaboration between EMBL-EBI and Google DeepMind.

For over 20 years, the mouse model organism has helped scientists uncover the biology behind human health and disease.

But the mouse reference genomes still have missing pieces.
The first collection of telomere-to-telomere mouse genomes are now available for two key mouse strains.

AI has so much potential for interpreting biological images, and yet, annotated biological datasets needed to train AI tools remain scarce.

If you generate microscopy data or develop AI tools to interpret it, check it these new guidelines:

Antimicrobial resistance (AMR) causes over a million deaths each year, and is rising.

Scientists analysed 40,000 bacterial plasmids across 100 years and six continents, to reveal that a few plasmids evolved after antibiotic use to drive most multi-drug resistance.

Mathematical models in biology are powerful, but often hard to run, visualise, or reuse without specialist skills.

Menelmacar is a new platform that makes biological models interactive and easy to explore directly in the browser: biomodels.bacpop.org

Great to welcome John Jumper, Kathryn Tunyasuvunakool, and Lindsay Willmore from Google DeepMind to EMBL-EBI last week.

John gave a brilliant talk on building #AlphaFold, and both spent time with our @pdbeurope.bsky.social team exchanging ideas.

Always a pleasure to see you!
