My design on this month's @NatureBiotech blooms to depict a lineage reconstruction of over 235 million sequences. Based on Fig. 2 from "Deep distributed computing to reconstruct extremely large lineage trees" lead by @nzmyachie @yachielab nature.com/articles/s4158…

I've compiled a catalogue of all my journal and book cover designs: mkweb.bcgsc.ca/covers/ Most have a writeup about the joys and headaches of putting a data peg in an art hole. #datavis #design
