Computer access

Access the course account with your password.

Opening a Linux terminal

We need to create a command terminal. Right click on the screen and select Open Terminal in the menu . A Linux command window will popup. Please create a folder for this course.

mkdir tomo
 cd  tomo 

Starting Dynamo

load the access to matlab through:

module load matlab

in your terminal. Then, in the Matlab window write:

<t> run /ISB2017/dynamo/dynamo_activate.m 

This will activate Dynamo in the current Matlab session.

Data

The tomogram for the second tutorial is located in the location /ISB2017/Course_material/July19/crop.rec

Make a local copy by typing in the Matlab window:

!cp /ISB2017/Course_material/July19/crop.rec . 

(the "!" signs just passes the cp order to Linux)

Program

Introduction to tomography and subtomogram averaging

~45 minutes of presentation to introduce tomography, subtomogram averaging and Dynamo.

Getting started

on screen presentation/hands-on practical. We will follow together the basic hands-on tutorial of Dynamo.

Advanced getting started.

After the coffee break at 16:00 participants will follow the advanced introduction on a reduced data set from a real tomogram.
