| == 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. |
|
| Line 5: | Line 3: |
| This session will cover the beta version of a small fraction of the possibilities for SPT processing EMAN2 will eventually offer. | Unfortunately, this technique SPT is very computationally intensive (both in terms of memory and processing speed). 3GB of RAM is the bare minimum recommended to get through the tutorial. For more realistic SPT on full 3D alignments on large sets of large particles particles, 8GB of memory and the use of multiple processing units is advised. |
| Line 7: | Line 7: |
| == 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'' |

| Line 15: | Line 8: |
| == SOFTWARE == 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: [[http://ncmi.bcm.edu/ncmi/software/counter_222/software_86]] |

| == 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: |

| Line 36: | Line 25: |
| [In theory, you can open a tomogram for contemplation purposes by typing: "e2display.py <my_tomogram_path_name_goes_here>" at the commandline. /!\ This is NOT recommendable, unless you have a grossly large (VERY, VERY large) amount of virtual memory on your computer; otherwise, catastrophe WILL befall upon you]. |

| This option will FLIP the orientation of your tomogram respect to the Y and Z coordinates. You should ONLY specify it IF the tomogram has its smallest/slimmest dimension running along the Y-axis, so that it becomes parallel to the Z-axis instead. | |

| 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. BUT '''__in EMAN2 volumes are displayed such that the Z-axis is perpendicular to the screen__'''. If you open one of these tomograms "as is", you'll be looking at it "from the side". Most of the time you want the slimmest part of the volume to be aligned along Z (NOT Y), so you can see the tomogram "from the TOP", and look at the entire CCD-captured area in the XY plane slice by slice, as you go through the volume. |

| This option pre-loads your tomogram to memory, allowing to box particles (or do whatever you want to do in e2tomoboxer) more smoothly (faster), because reading data from memory is faster than reading it from disk. | |
