EMAN - Complete suite of programs for single particle analysis
1.7 - released on 05/16/05Version 1.7 is a major feature enhancement and bugfix release. Please remember to completely remove your old EMAN install before installing 1.7. Do not forget to run the 'EMAN/eman-installer' script after unpacking.
This is EMAN 1.7, a major new release of the EMAN suite. It includes many new features including substantial parallelism improvements, a new reference-free 2D classification program, a new initial model builder and a substantially expanded and improved AIRS package.
PLEASE NOTE - The Windows package is mainly provided for use of the GUI tools and utility programs. To run refinements, you will need a Unix-like platform.
Version Changes
* Major overhaul of parallelism infrastructure (runpar). Now uses fileserver for both reads and writes in the cluster versions. Fault tolerance has also improved. If a node dies during a run, the run will continue, and simply stop using that node. Better job distribution to nodes.
* Binary release for AMD64, and better support for OSX (still imperfect).
* New program refine2d.py for generating reference-free class-averages from a set of particles. Uses a combination of SVD and alignment. MUCH better than startnrclasses.
* New program makeinitialmodel.py for constructing 3D models from blobs, good for making random or deterministic shapes.
* Greatly expanded and improved AIRS software with Chimera bindings. This includes tools for locating secondary structure in intermediate resolution maps (ssehunter.py), docking crystal structures (foldhunter.py), and many other useful tools.
* Support for both full and 1/2 maps for icosahedral reconstructions
* Support for exponential envelope functions in CTF correction (normally Gaussian), email if to ask about this.
* Major improvements to experimental 2D crystallography preprocessing program (qindex)
Minor changes:
* PIF writer fixed
* Reader for 3D .dm3 files added (Digital Micrograph)
* AMIRA file format support (r/w)
* Fixed MRC/CCP4 compatibility problem
* Fixed SPIDER read for 1 image stacks
* Problem with A/pix adjustment when scaling fixed
* Improvements to tiltseries (simple tomography program), though the EMAN2 equivalent is much better.
