#cryoet — Public Fediverse posts

This year again I was lucky to be able to attend the #CCPEM Spring Symposium in person.

So much exciting science is going on in the #cryoEM and #cryoET #teamTomo fields!

I was especially impressed with the progress in time-resolved perturbation and vitrification for single-particle cryoEM.

One highlight from Friday that I forgot: Alister Burt's talk on his efforts to build #TeamTomo, a set of community-supported software packages and metadata standards for #cryoET. This is difficult work, and less rewarding for those in academia, but so essential. It's great to see progress on this front.

The other great news from Alister's talk: Warp is now supported on Linux!

Finally, I'll remember his advice "think about geometry, and use it if you can" when assigning initial particle orientations for subtomogram averaging.

🏆 After nearly 20 years, Italy wins a Human Frontier Science Program #HFSP Fellowship!

Congratulations to our Karthik Ramanadane, Postdoc in the Coscia Group (Structural #Biology), who will study the molecular mechanisms of the #thyroid at HT, using a combination of #proteomics, cell-based assay, #CRISPRCas9 based screening, and #cryoET and CLEM approaches.

I hear we have some neat equipment.

I reprocessed the T. kivui 70S ribosomes (EMPIAR-11058) with #RELION-4 to get a ~7 Å map in situ 🤩

This map is now deposited @EMDB_EMPIAR as EMD-16451:

@tbharat_lab is a #CryoET OG...go check out this position!

I used the data he shared from the origin #Relion subtomo paper to huge extent in developing #emClarity for my dissertation. (#ribosomes)

New #cryoET structure from LSI Exeter colleagues Matthew Gaines et al. Bertram Daum lab, this time of the enigmatic #archaeal filament called 'thread'.

What I find cool about this work is that first they had the structure, then found the sequence based on glycosylation sites and bulky residues.
This #protein was also so ultra-stable, that resisted trypsinisation, so mass spec was not an option to identify it.

The @uniofbern @unibern is delighted to actively participate in the #StructureBiology revolution with state-of-the-art equipment for #CryoEM and #CryoET. Congrats to @ben808080 @KukulskiWanda @IBMM_UniBE! Long live the @DCI_EM collaboration with @unil @EPFL_en @UNIGEnews.

Hi there, #Mastodon ! #introduction time: my name is Hugo, I'm a structural biologist originating from the Netherlands. Currently a post-doc at Ben Engel's lab in Basel, Switzerland.

I love peering deep into cells, using #CryoElectronTomography to discover more about the molecular machines that make life tick, inside their native environment. #Cellbiology at the molecular scale.

I hope to see more of my (non-)science friends in this community soon!

I joined at the beginning of the bandwagon and didn't post an #introduction so...

I am a postdoc at the #RosalindFranklinInsititute and #DiamondLightSource developing methods for #CryoET and #3DED. I am the developer of #Parakeet for simulating #CryoEM images and one of the original developers of #DIALS for processing your diffraction data.

Outside work, I play guitar and bass, listen to very heavy music, and dance salsa. Además entiendo un poco español y me gusta hablar con todos!
