#teamtomo — 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.

Just dropped $1200 to upgrade one of my servers to 512 GB mem. How’s your day?

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.

#TeamTomo is having a competition to annotate #cryoET tomograms: https://cryoetdataportal.czscience.com/competition

This is a good initiative! Especially the metadata format standardization part. I hope several good 3D particle picking programs will emerge from this.

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:
