== Wednesday March 16, 2011 - P.M. Practical EMAN2 SPT tutorial ==
SPT (single particle tomography) capabilities are relatively new in EMAN2. They were inspired by Michael Schmid's studies on sub-volume averaging (mostly on viruses), and a stubborn student's insistence on doing extensive sub-volume averaging on chaperons.
== Wednesday - P.M. ==
Line 5: Line 4:
This session will cover the beta version of a small fraction of the possibilities for SPT processing EMAN2 will eventually offer. This session will cover the new tools for single particle tomography in EMAN2. Unfortunately, this technique is very memory-intensive and compute-intensive.
The 3 gb of ram available on the workshop computers is barely sufficient to do some small examples, and full 3-D alignments of large sets of particles can
take many hours of computation.
Line 7: Line 8:
== OUTLINE ==
 * 1) SPT processing through EMAN2's workflow (e2workflow.py)
 * 2) Sub-volume extraction from tomograms using EMAN2's 3D particle picking tool (e2tomoboxer.py)
 * 3) "Preparation" of extracted particles for alignment. [Details later. /!\ For a myriad of reasons, it is NOT recommendable to align and average sub-volumes directly after extraction without "preparing" them first].
 * 4) Reference-based alignment and averaging.
 
 <!> ''PLEASE NOTE that "particle" and "sub-volume" are used interchangeably''
So, for purposes of the tutorial, we will learn how to use the particle picker, and do a couple of small examples which can be completed
in the available time.

All necessary software is provided as part of EMAN2. If you don't have EMAN2 installed, you can download the most updated version (for your specific platform, Windows, Linux or Mac), from here:

== RAW DATA ==
We have prepared sample data for this tutorial. The tomogram in the link below comes from a tilt series of epsilon15 virus particles ''in vitro'', recorded using Zernike phase-plate technology:

[In theory, you can open a tomogram for contemplation purposes by typing: "e2display.py <my_tomogram_path_name_goes_here>" at the commandline.

Line 54: Line 40:
 Some tomograms are built with the slimmest part of the 3D volume (that corresponding to the "ice thickness" in cryoEM) running along the Y-axis. By convention, EMAN2 displays things such that the __Z-axis is perpendicular to the screen__. Ideally, you would want the slimmest part of the volume to be aligned along Z so you can view the entire tomogram from the "TOP" and look at the entire area in the XY plane slice by slice, as you go through the volume. == Decent command for e2spt_rotationalplot.py ==

Single Particle Tomography in EMAN2

Wednesday - P.M.

This session will cover the new tools for single particle tomography in EMAN2. Unfortunately, this technique is very memory-intensive and compute-intensive. The 3 gb of ram available on the workshop computers is barely sufficient to do some small examples, and full 3-D alignments of large sets of particles can take many hours of computation.

So, for purposes of the tutorial, we will learn how to use the particle picker, and do a couple of small examples which can be completed in the available time.
