Bacteriophage T4

Client:
Michael Rossmann, Ph.D., Purdue University

Goal:
Create a highly accurate visualization of the Bacteriophage T4 based on Cryo-EM datasets of the virus

Scope:
Show the infection process of the T4 into an E. coli cell.

Solution:
Seyet created a visualization that was downloaded over 120,000 times in eight months and publicized around the world by Scientific American, Discover, MSNBC, USA Today, and many others.

"…the infection process is not a still picture – it's a story,"
"We knew we needed to see more than one scene in that story if we were ever to understand its full meaning."
