Here's a neat way to share you protein-annotated data 🚀🧪 Upload your .csv with residue/value data, select data column, colormap and norm to interactively color your protein model. Then, add title/description and click the button to open a shareable view with url-encoded data and settings.

Dit is en blijft racisme. Iemand uit Afrika mag geen mening hebben over het Fries en komt gewoon geld graaien. Ik vind het ontluisterend dat dit op tv is en blijft.
