Changes from EMAN 2.12 -> EMAN 2.2

Single Particle Analysis

  • Many, deep improvements to refinement
    • Substantial refinement changes and new filtering techniques
    • Optional tophat filter (similar to Relion post processing), side chains often (but not always) look even better than Relion/CryoSparc
  • Local resolution and filtration
    • can be enabled in refinement to provide local detail appropriate to local resolution
  • Several new methods for conformational/compositional heterogeneity
    • Including multi-model refinement with or without alignment, masked particle subtraction, 2-D and 3-D Deep Learning approaches (experimental)
  • New bad particle identification strategy
    • Proven to produce better maps in several projects!
  • Automatic CTF
    • Used to be several manual steps. Entire process now automated.
    • Easy and fast refinement at progressive resolutions within a single project
  • Phase plate CTF correction
    • Supports phase shifts covering full 360 degree range, with explicit 'phase' slider
    • No automatic fitting of phase shift in this version (next minor release)
  • New e2boxer (particle picker)
    • Fixes the problems with the old particle picker
    • New (optional) neural network picker for difficult projects
  • Stochastic Gradient Descent initial model generator (experimental)
  • Automatic magnification anisotropy correction tool
    • Post-processing program which corrects for the common microscope anisotropy problem on FEI scopes
    • Automatic, does not require additional data collection
  • New direct detector movie aligner
    • All new program. Competitive with other alignment programs in quality
    • Workflow for handling movies in EMAN2 projects
  • New localweight averager (experimental)
    • excludes "bad" parts of individual particles (overlaps, contamination, etc.)
  • New 2-D registration algorithm
    • scales well with box size
    • more accurate going into "refine" alignment (in many cases refine can be skipped)

Subtomogram Averaging

  • New subtomogram averaging tools
    • New pipelines for subtomogram averaging and classification
  • Up to 20x faster 3-D alignments,
    • now practical to study 10,000 300x300x300 particles on a single workstation
  • New automatic missing wedge identification/compensation in alignment/averaging

Tomogram Segmentation

  • Workflow for semi-automatic tomogram annotation/segmentation
    • Uses convolutional neural network technology with user guided training of features.

Overall Changes

  • Anaconda Python based distribution
    • Integrates SciPy, Theano, PyLearn and other toolkits

  • New installers, with better OpenMPI/Pydusa support
  • GitHub

    • Source code is now managed via a public GitHub repository (cryoem/eman2)

  • Windows 10/7 64 bit
    • Initial support, poorly tested, but available for the first time (EMAN2 only, SPARX/SPHIRE do not support this platform)
