Software Updates

MODELLER

used for homology or comparative modeling of protein three-dimensional structures. From a sequence alignment with known related structures, MODELLER automatically calculates a model containing all non-hydrogen atoms using comparative protein structure modeling by satisfaction of spatial restraints. It can also perform de novo modeling of loops in protein structures and optimize various models of protein structure with respect to a flexibly defined objective function, multiple alignment of protein sequences and/or structures, clustering, searching of sequence databases, comparison of protein structures, etc.

Schrodinger

a suite of tools for small molecule drug discovery. The Schrodinger Suite runs on Linux and Mac workstations, but due to its size, it is not included in our default installation.

NMRPipe

a set of comprehensive facilities for Fourier processing of spectra in one to four dimensions, as well as a variety of facilities for spectral display and analysis. This is the official NMRScience version of NMRPipe.

Scipion

an image processing framework to obtain 3D models of macromolecular complexes using 3D EM that allows you to execute workflows combining different software tools, while taking care of formats and conversions.

MAFFT

a multiple sequence alignment program for unix-like operating systems. It offers a range of multiple alignment methods, L-INS-i (accurate; for alignment of <200 sequences), FFT-NS-2 (fast; for alignment of <30,000 sequences).

TensorFlow

an open source software library for high performance numerical computation. Its flexible architecture allows easy deployment of computation across a variety of platforms (CPUs, GPUs, TPUs), and from desktops to clusters of servers to mobile and edge devices. Originally developed by researchers and engineers from the Google Brain team within Google’s AI organization, it comes with strong support for machine learning and deep learning, and the flexible numerical computation core is used across many other scientific domains.

Python

a general-purpose, interpreted, object oriented, high-level dynamic programming language that emphasizes code readability. Its syntax allows programmers to express concepts in fewer lines of code than in C++ or Java, thus allowing programmers to work more quickly and integrate their systems more effectively.

XRayView

uses interactive computer graphics to introduce basic concepts of X-ray diffraction by crystals, including the reciprocal lattice, the Ewald sphere construction, Laue cones, the wavelength dependence of the reciprocal lattice, primitive and centered lattices and systematic extinctions, rotation photography, Laue photography, space group determination and Laue group symmetry, and the alignment of crystals by examination of reciprocal space.

XDS

(X-ray Detector Software) a software tool for processing single-crystal monochromatic diffraction data recorded by the rotation method.

EMAN2

a scientific image processing suite with a particular focus on single particle reconstruction from cryoEM images. EMAN2 is a complete refactoring of the original EMAN1 library and contains the SPARX applications.

crYOLO

a novel automated particle picking software based on the deep learning object detection system 'You Only Look Once' (YOLO). CrYOLO is available as standalone program under http://sphire.mpg.de/ and will be part of the image processing workflow in SPHIRE.

FFmpeg

A complete, cross-platform solution to record, convert and stream audio and video.

WebLogo

command line tools for sequence logo generation.
