An introduction to the ISCB approach: breaking the silos! This collection of 2D animations demonstrates the -dare I say it?- philosophy of the ISCB lab at the Institut Pasteur. The ISCB team looks at how microbes interact with their environment from a structural perspective. The goal of the animations is to show that where previously organisms were researched in their specific niches, the ISCB lab also studies them in context of their environments.
This collection consist of looping and breaking out animations of three model organisms: the bacteriophage HNL01, the bacterium Vibrio fischeri, and the Hawaiian Bobtail Squid (Euprymna scolopes). For this work, we demonstrate how these model organisms are studied in context of one another; the HNL01 phage infects the Vibrio fischeri bacterium, which in turn has a symbiotic relationship with the Hawaiian Bobtail Squid! With this more holistic approach, the ISCB lab breaks the silos that separate our model organisms and provides a more contextual view of these intricate systems.
