 +This is the main webserver for the Ludtke Lab at Baylor College of Medicine. It documents several projects, and has a range of historical resources, including some from the National Center for Macromolecular Imaging, a NIGMS P41 center which was at BCM for ~30 years.
  
-**//The EMAN2 wiki was undergoing a massive hacker attack, and we were forced to update to a newer Wiki system, we are still in the process of transitioning all of the pages, so past links may not work properly, and some current links may be broken while we update.//** +=== Projects ===

-Most of the pages are editable by any user that has registered an account on the server. To prevent spam, you need to email sludtke@bcm.edu to get an account on the system if you wish to contribute changes. If you just wish to browse, you don't need an account. +  * [[eman2|EMAN2 Documentation]]

-EMAN2 is a broadly based scientific image processing suite (largely greyscale) with a primary focus on processing data from transmission electron microscopes. EMAN's original purpose was performing single particle reconstructions (3-D volumetric models from 2-D cryo-EM images) at the highest possible resolution, but the suite now also offers support for single particle cryo-ET, and tools useful in many other subdisciplines such as helical reconstruction, 2-D crystallography and whole-cell tomography. EMAN2 is capable of processing large data sets (>100,000 particle) very efficiently. +  * [[eman1|EMAN Documentation/Downloads - Historical]]

-===== About EMAN2 ===== +
-EMAN2 is the successor to [[EMAN1]]. It is a broadly based greyscale scientific image processing suite with a primary focus on processing data from transmission electron microscopes. EMAN's original purpose was performing single particle reconstructions (3-D volumetric models from 2-D cryo-EM images) at the highest possible resolution, but the suite now also offers support for single particle cryo-ET, and tools useful in many other subdisciplines such as helical reconstruction, 2-D crystallography and whole-cell tomography. Image processing in a suite  like EMAN differs from consumer image processing packages like Photoshop in that pixels in images are represented as floating-point numbers rather than small (8-16 bit) integers. In addition, image compression is avoided entirely, and there is a focus on quantitative analysis rather than qualitative image display. +
- +
-All EMAN2 programs, including GUI programs, are written in the easy-to-learn Python scripting language. This permits knowledgeable end-users to customize any of the code with unprecedented ease. If you aren't an advanced user, you can still make use of the integrated GUI and all of EMAN2's command-line programs.+
