Software Updates

Xmipp

(X-Window-based Microscopy Image Processing Package) a suite of image processing programs primarily aimed at single-particle 3D electron microscopy.

OpenMPI

an open source Message Passing Interface implementation that is developed and maintained by a consortium of academic, research, and industry partners. Open MPI is therefore able to combine the expertise, technologies, and resources from all across the High Performance Computing community in order to build the best MPI library available.

Coot

(Crystallographic Object-Oriented Toolkit) supports model building and real space refinement. This application interfaces with refmac, Phenix, and several other applications. Coot was recognized as the best structural biology application in 2008 by SBGrid.

Rosetta

a software suite for modeling macromolecular structures and for predicting and designing protein structures, protein folding mechanisms, and protein-protein interactions.

Chimera

a highly extensible, interactive molecular graphics program for interactive visualization and analysis of molecular structures and related data, including density maps, supramolecular assemblies, sequence alignments, docking results, trajectories, and conformational ensembles. It is often a tool of choice for rendering EM volumes.

goCTF

(geometrically optimized CTF determination for single-particle cryo-EM) a program explicitly designed to determine the focus gradient in single-particle cryo-EM using a novel geometrically optimized approach. The goCTF software is built on the open-source code of CTFFIND4.
