I've been meaning to practice some data visualization tasks... If anybody knows any cool datasets they'd recommend that aren't your run of the mill kaggle consumer data or whatever. I'm particularly interested in bioinformatics/genetics data but not really sure of where to look (and have almost no background, just personally interested in comp-bio).. If anyone could recommend cool and open esoteric data/possible projects, that would be awesome.

Could try these:
