Organelle View 2: the cell cycle

Yeast Cell Cycle

Here is a new visualization of the cell cycle using a combination of Virtual Reality Markup Language (VRML), Flash, and database-driven graphics. This new version from Chris Landau and Jamie Cope’s nformation design demonstrates the yeast cell cycle in 3D cycle stages along with educational information about the process.

Try zooming in and see changes in the nucleus as the cycle progresses.

Yeast Cell Nucleus During Metaphase

This project started as a collaboration at the University of Michigan with Anuj Kumar’s lab in the Life Sciences Institute and first led to the OrganelleView project.
