Collaboration Map

Nanotubes create random relationships between cells, possibly from different types/species. Those relationships could have a long or short duration... Just as what happens with people! And more specifically between teams. Indeed, teams can exchange imformations and knoledges by collaborating, sometimes at an international level. Collaboration between teams can be a long-term relationship (like the one between Paris Bettencourt and PKU), or shorter flings.

We decided to scan the wikis for collaborations between teams from 2007 to today. Most of them were easy to find but some relationships between teams were almost kept secret.

We also listed the number of prizes and medals for each team, grouped them by Region (Europe, America, Asia)and by country.

With all this data, we created a collaboration graph with Touchgraph. You can find a tutorial and our files to download below.

We developped a graphe navigator for static représentation of those graphes in flash which can be tested below.

The navigators bellow allow to zoom in and out. It also propose to choose between different graphe (one per year for example).

Collaboration map per year

this map represent the collaboration between teams for each year from 2007. There is no data about prizes and medal on IGEM site for 2008.

this map show us that teams witch are the most collaborating are ?majoritarely? new teams

Legend

Level of collaboration

this map propose Three differents graphs :

• The first, show teams collapsed by level of collaboration for each region : the first lvl is no colaboration, the second is collaboration only with teams of the same region, and the third is collaboration between regions.
• The second graph show us the repartition of collaborating teams by country : each teams of the same country have the same color
• The third one show the ratio of collaboration per region : all the teams of each region have the same color

For example on this map we can see that countries with a lot of teams have just a little parts of them witch are collaborating (look at, China and US)

Japan collaboration over time

we took the example fo the Japan collaboration over the years because all the teams usually collaborate mostly with other Japan team.
