We're excited to announce a new webinar mini-series starting March 15th - CryoEM of membrane proteins: from sample to structure - with a terrific group of speakers including opening and closing keynotes from Profs. Nieng Yan and Chris Tate, a special lecture from Prof. Melanie Ohi, panel discussions on sample preparation and regional CryoEM infrastructure, and a look at Single Particle CryoEM with Shaun Rawson and ChimeraX CryoEM modeling with Tom Goddard.
Organized in collaboration with Profs. Jamaine Davis of Meharry Medical College, Piotr Sliz of Harvard Medical School, and Patrick Sexton at the ARC Centre for Cryo-electron Microscopy of Membrane Proteins, Monash University.
For SBGrid users who are already familiar with the SBGrid software installation platform, members may opt-in in to include the BioGrids software stack in their installation. BioGrids in an SBGrid-style collection of ~ 500 open source bioinformatics software titles, with collections for high-throughput sequencing, genomics, proteomics, visualization, image analysis, etc.
Our resident bioinformatics expert, Jim Vincent, recorded this brief tutorial - BioGrids for SBGrid Users - with more information on how SBGrid users can access this software stack. Contact us at help@biogrids.org with any questions.
Many thanks to all who joined our most recent mini-series - Cryo-electron microscopy: from Sample to Structure - hosted in collaboration with Prof. Kurt Krause of University of Otago, Prof. Piotr Sliz of Harvard Medical School, and Prof. Antoine van Oijen, University of Wollongong and ARC CCeMMP.
The samples preparation, cryoEM computing, and regional infrastructure talks are available on SBGridTV.
We are looking forward to preparing another webinar series in 2022 - stay tuned!
Join us for our Software Webinar Series - Tuesdays at 12pm ET - to hear from software developers about what's new in structural biology.

We've got a couple of operating system alerts for those of you looking to buy new computers or update existing Mac or Linux machines:
SBGrid is not compatible with MacOS 10.15 "Catalina without a work-around for recent filesystem changes", the next version of Apple's MacOS due out in October with significant changes. With Catalina, Apple will enforce strict filesystem controls that will break SBGrid installations. They have also dropped support for 32-bit binaries that many older applications require. We strongly recommend against upgrading to 10.15 on any Mac with SBGrid software. A solution is in the works, but it may take some time before we can fully implement the changes to officially support 10.15. We are also compiling a list of 32-bit software applications that will not …
