EMAN2

EMAN2 is now stable enough to be a complete replacement for EMAN1 for most tasks. It is capable of single particle reconstructions at near-atomic resolution, and can process very large data sets (>100,000 particles).

About EMAN2

EMAN2 is now a fully usable reconstruction package, including initial parallelism support. However, it was designed so both EMAN1 and EMAN2 can be installed in the same user account with no conflicts, in case you need some EMAN1 functionality. All EMAN2 programs, including GUI programs are written in the easy-to-learn Python scripting language. This permits knowledgable end-users to customize any of the code with unprecendented ease. If you aren't an advanced user, you can still make use of all of EMAN2's command-line programs, all of which start with 'e2'. Any programs in EMAN2 with an EMAN1 equivalent are likely substantially improved over their EMAN1 equivalents. For example e2pdb2mrc.py is ~10x faster than the EMAN1 pdb2mrc.
