Revision as of 07:13, 23 April 2018

The Basel Dynamo workshop will take place from August the 28th to August the 31st in the Biozentrum of the University of Basel.

The workshop provides hands-on training in all practical aspects of tomography and sub-tomogram averaging using our software Dynamo, encompassing all stages of the pipeline: alignment and reconstruction of tilt series, tomogram visualization and archiving, particle selection and extraction, and subtomogram alignment, averaging, refinement and classification. No previous experience is required. Computing infrastructure will be provided in place, and we welcome participants to bring their own data sets to work on them during this four-day course.


Registration

A link for registration will be published here from the first of May. Please contact us if you don't get a confirmation on the next days.

Registration fee

Participants will be asked to confirm their registration with the payment of fee of 350 CHF (700 CHF for industry), which covers meals during the workshop.

Contents

The final program schedule will be updated here by mid August. As a general guideline, we will cover:

  • Alignment and reconstruction of tilt series.
  • Manual and automated particle picking in different geometries (filaments, membranes, isolated particles...).
  • Archiving and cataloguing of tilt series, tomograms and annotations.
  • Creation of subtomogram averaging projects.
  • Advanced tools in subtomogram averaging.
  • Classification methods.
  • Creation of 3d scenes.
  • Scripting in Dynamo: gentle introduction to programming.
