If you'd like to celebrate the biology of viruses - or the fight against viral diseases - this winter, try out our free and updated #VirusSnowflake designs.
Please share, and if you have any photos of Virus Snowflakes in your area it would be lovely to see them!

KEY DISCOVERIES:

🗺️ Mapped evolutionary relationships across the virosphere

🔍 Found unexpected class-I fusion glycoproteins in herpesviruses

🧬 Revealed potential origins of coronavirus spike proteins through ancient genetic exchange

WHY THIS MATTERS:

🦠 Viruses are underrepresented in existing protein structure databases such as the PDB and AlphaFold Database

🤖 We combined AlphaFold2-ColabFold and ESMFold to predict proteome level structures for >4,400 human & animal viruses
