About the Cover
IMMUNE REPERTOIRE In 2014, the GSA journals launched a contest inviting image submissions related to genetics and genomics. The winning entry was created by Jian Han, of the HudsonAlpha Institute for Biotechnology. It depicts an im2print tree map, with each rectangle representing a unique gene combination of B or T cell receptors, and the ability to defend against a particular antigen. The larger the rectangle, the more expressed the gene combination. Im2prints provide not only a quick graphical representation of the overall diversity of an individual's immune repertoire, but are also personalized artwork.
