Spotlight on… high-resolution biology

New Content Item © Gómez HF et alHigh-resolution imaging and genomic technologies are changing the way we view the environment, cells, chromosomes and molecules. From super-resolution microscopy to cryo-EM to single-cell sequencing, a ‘resolution revolution’ is taking place.  

Here we share recent highlights from the BMC Series journals.
