The NYSBC offer a two-day compact course on the use of the Dynamo software for subtomogram averaging and tomography. This workshop provides hands-on training in all practical aspects of sub-tomogram averaging, encompassing all stages of the pipeline: tomogram visualization and archiving, particle picking, averaging, refinement and classification. No previous experience will be required.
An additional day will be offered for those interested in deepening the topics presented during the first two days.
Contents
Registration
To be announced.
Requirements
Participants are welcome to bring along their own laptops.
Dynamo can be run as standalone (in Linux) or inside the commercial Matlab software (Linux or Mac). For this course, we ask participants to get beforehand a trial license for Matlab. Please, perform the installation of the latest version of Dynamo on your laptop before the course.
Also, we encourage participants to check beforehand if they have access to GPU machines through their home institution.
