Subtomogram alignment

Aligning subtomograms is the process of computing for each available particle the set of shifts and angles that will bring them to a common reference. When all the particles have been aligned, they can be averaged together.

The alignments of a set of particles can be computed through setting up and running an alignment project, which will run alignment and averaging in an iterative way in order to gradually improve the attained resolution.

Alignment projects can be managed from the command line, or more easily with the dcp GUI.
