NCMI Workshop on Single Particle Reconstruction, Structural Variability and Modeling

Oct 30 - Nov 2, 2015

It is critical that you install and test all required software before arriving at the workshop.

We may add some additional data files here before the workshop. While these will be optional, we'd encourage you to check back on this page a day or two before the workshop to see if there are any last minute additions.

There are a number of tools you will need to take part in all of the tutorials, and it could easily take you a day to get everything set up and working, so please don't wait until the last minute. We are happy to assist people via email in advance of the workshop. You will not be able to complete installation on-site! Please come prepared, so we can all have a good experience!

Following is a list of the various software packages which will be used in the tutorial and demo sessions. Installation difficulty varies among these. We have tried to identify the most critical packages, and how each will be used. If you run into one you cannot readily install, you can skip it, and just observe the relevant tutorial:

  • EMAN/SPARX 2.12 (or snapshot version released after Oct. 19, 2015) - (day 1 - 2) Required. Do not use an older version.

  • Relion 1.4 (optional, day 2-3) - The Relion session will largely be a demo. Linux users may opt to install so they can explore with the demo.

  • Chimera Daily Build Oct. 17 or later - For PDB viewing and Segger tutorial (day 4, specific version required)

  • Gorgon - Gorgon Tutorial (day 4) Please install the appropriate binary AND Data-Sets.zip

  • Phenix - (end of day 4) real-space refinement of models

  • LKH Solver - (day 4 - pathwalker), required only for the pathwalker tutorial, see below

  • OpenMPI and PyDusa (day 2-3) SPARX tutorial may also largely be a demo, see below

You will also need all of the demonstration data, which we will use when going through the tutorials:

While you are also welcome to bring your own data to play with, we strongly encourage you to download the official tutorial data as well. There is nothing to configure after downloading these files, simply unpack them into a convenient folder on your hard drive.
