CTF Estimation Challenge

The CTF Estimation Challenge will be run from March 1st to July 15th as a collaboration between researchers, rather than a competition. Each challenger commits to submitting a manuscript to the next I2PC workshop summarizing the method used and results, and later to sharing the results with the community, such that we can foster a

FluoJ

Fluorescence microscopy image analysis is different for each sample but there are usually a common set of steps in the analysis workflow such as image preprocessing, segmentation, specimens characterization and classification. In FluoJ user configures this steps for each sample and trains the classifier (optional) in order to do automatic image processing and classification. This

PeppeR new release: 1.11.02

A new version of the DAS client for 3D-EM, PeppeR, has been released. PeppeR is the annotation browser for macro-molecular structures that allows to display Hybrid models. These models are obtained by fitting the atomic cordinates derived from X-ray cristallograpgy or NMR; into the 3D volume maps obtained by Electron microscopy. More details can be
