Cryogenic electron microscopy ================================= Cryogenic electron microscopy (cryoEM) is a cryomicroscopy technique applied on samples cooled to cryogenic temperatures. For biological specimens, the structure is preserved by embedding in an environment of vitreous ice. `Cryogenic electron microscopy `_ Relion 4.0 for cryo-EM structure determination =============================================== Relion-4 cover the entire single-particle analysis workflow in relion-4.0: beam-induced motion-correction, CTF estimation; automated particle picking; particle extraction; 2D class averaging; automated 2D class selection; SGD-based initial model generation; 3D classification; high-resolution 3D refinement; CTF refinement and higher-order aberration correction; the processing of movies from direct-electron detectors; and final map sharpening and local-resolution estimation. `RELION 4.0 Document `_ Relion 3 or 4 on Exascale Cluster with Singularity -------------------------------------------------- This is very simple guide to run Relion on a DGX100, more effective multinodes should be explore futher. Assume you allocate resource on one of our compute nodes by salloc command. .. code-block:: console $ salloc -w omega -t 1:0:0 --gres=gpu:1 Download Data ------------- You can download data from Takayuki Kato from the Namba group at Osaka university, Japan. It was collected on a JEOL CRYO ARM 200 microscope.The data and our precalculated results may be downloaded and unpacked using the commands below. .. code-block:: console cd ~/ mkdir relion/tutorial/ wget ftp://ftp.mrc-lmb.cam.ac.uk/pub/scheres/relion30_tutorial_data.tar wget ftp://ftp.mrc-lmb.cam.ac.uk/pub/scheres/relion40_tutorial_precalculated_results.tar.gz tar -xf relion30_tutorial_data.tar tar -zxf relion40_tutorial_precalculated_results.tar.gz Signle particle tutorial ------------------------- .. code-block:: console $ singularity shell --nv /app/relion4_gui_cufftw.sif Singularity> relion & .. image:: images/relion.png This image is NOT the best one which we will improve Singularity definition file to run on multi-nodes with Slurm scheduling. `RELION Single particle tutorial `_ Computational Imaging System for Transmission Electron Microscopy(cisTEM) ========================================================================= cisTEM is user-friendly software to process cryo-EM images of macromolecular complexes and obtain high-resolution 3D reconstructions from them. It was originally developed by Tim Grant, Alexis Rohou and Nikolaus Grigorieff and comprises a number of tools to process image data including movies, micrographs and stacks of single-particle images, implementing a complete “pipeline” of processing steps to obtain high-resolution single-particle reconstructions. cisTEM is distributed under the Janelia Research Campus Software License and can be downloaded here. We recommend downloading and using the pre-compiled binaries, rather than compiling the source code, for best performance. New users are encouraged to follow the tutorial, which provides a quick way to become familiar with the most important functions of cisTEM. `cisTEM ` Run cisTEM on a DGX-A100 ------------------------ .. code-block:: console $ salloc -w omega -t 1:0:0 --gres=gpu:1 Download Data ------------- To test programm we will need to download the apoferritin test dataset from the cisTEM web page. It comes as another archive called apoferritin_data.tar.gz and is attached to the “Getting Started” Documentation page. Store this archive on a fast local disk where you have about 15 GB of space and unpack it by typing: .. code-block:: console $ wget https://grigoriefflab.umassmed.edu/sites/default/files/apoferritin_data.tar.gz $ tar -xzf apoferritin_data.tar.gz New folder apoferritin_data contains 20 movies, recorded on an aberration-corrected Titan Krios microscope. To use X11 Window client, check DISPLAY environment as follow: .. code-block:: console $ env | grep DISPLAY $ singularity exec --nv --env DISPLAY=:10.0 /app/cistem_latest.sif /usr/local/bin/cisTEM Take notes for DISPAY such as *DISPLAY=:10.0*, then runs cisTEM inside singularity image.
