EMBO workshop 2018

Dynamo will be used for the subtomogram averaging part of the EMBO course on Image Processing for CryoEM data.

Data sets

In the directory XXX there are folders with real data sets. Data sets:

• Tomogram 1 is called crop.rec. The data is a fraction of a tomogram. The full tomogram was used in "Cryo-electron tomography reveals novel features of a viral RNA replication compartment." (Ertel et al.), and represents several FHV viruses docked in the outer membrane of a mitochondrion. Data can be downloaded here

• Tomogram 2 is called t20s.mrc. The tomogram visualises purified T20S proteasome in solution. Data can be downloaded here
