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 strongly recommend bringing a 3 button (or 2 button+scroll) mouse. While it is possible to survive with a trackpad or one button mouse, there are many things in EMAN and Chimera where having additional mouse buttons is VERY useful.

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:

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

Here are the actual tutorials as PDF files (will be uploaded Wed afternoon):

These files are larger, and represent the results after completing the relevant tutorials, since you may not be able to get through the full tutorial on your laptops:

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.


Additional information and tips about software installation

These are not additional downloads, but rather are links which may assist in installing some of the required packages above.
