Registration for the Dynamo workshop 2016 in Basel (Switzerland) is closed.
The workshop provides hands-on training in all practical aspects of sub-tomogram averaging using our software Dynamo, encompassing all stages of the pipeline: tomogram visualization and archiving, particle picking, averaging, refinement and classification. No previous experience is required. Computing infrastructure is provided in place, and we welcome participants to bring their own data sets to work on them during this three-day course.

Registration
Regitration for this event is closed.
You'll be ask to confirm your registration by the payment of a fee of 250 CHF. This fee covers lunch and dinners during the workshop, but not the lodgement. Participants are asked to do their own arrangements for accommodation.
Venue
The workshop will take place from the 17th to the 19th of August in the Biozentrum of the University of Basel. Practical lectures are hold in the Room U1075, close to the Pharmazentrum entry in Klingelbergstrasse 70.
Please find here a map for the different events:
- Lunch vouchers are valid in the canteen of the Hospital (close to the Biozentrum)
- Workshop dinner will take place in the Volkshaus Restaurant (Rebgasse 12)
- Interested participants can visit the CINA facilitieson Friday afternoon.
Travel and Lodging
Please note that the travel and lodging are not covered in the workshop registration fee and participants will have to arrange it by themselves. We recommend the following hostels:
- BaselBackPack - info@baselbackpack.com
- Youth Hostel Basel - basel@youthhostel.ch
Computing facilities
Participants will be provided with an individual workstation and with a temporary account on a remote supercomputing system.
If you wish to get used to work with Dynamo on your own laptop, you are welcome to bring it. Please, take into account the platforms where it is possible to install the current versions of the code. Also, if you have a access to a supercomputing facility in your home institution, it is a good idea to open there an account beforehand and use it during the course. Dynamo is specially suited to work on GPU systems.
Program
The current program can be downloaded from here . We will cover:
- Creation of alignment projects.
- Creation of classification projects.
- Use of supercomputing devices.
- Management of complex tomography projects (Catalogues)
- Particle picking in different geometries: filaments, membranes, vesicles.
