Dynamo workshop 2016
Registration for the Dynamo workshop 2016 in Basel (Switzerland) is now open. Deadline is 31st of May.
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
For registration, please fill this form or just send us a mail with a brief description of your background.
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.
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 exact time schedule will be published soon. 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.
