- Reposted by Alicia MichaelThis one was quite the journey! The paper describing the #ChlamyDataset is finally out and on the cover of Mol Cell! This beautiful rendering made by co-author @jessheebner.bsky.social and Holly Peterson shows an instance of mitochondrial fission found in the dataset 😍 [Maybe long thread ahead]
