Workshop

The PSI Dynamo workshop will take place from August the 16th to August the 18th in the Paul Scherrer Institute.

The workshop provides hands-on training in all practical aspects of tomography and sub-tomogram averaging using our software Dynamo, encompassing all stages of the pipeline: alignment and reconstruction of tilt series, tomogram visualization and archiving, particle selection and extraction, and subtomogram alignment, averaging, refinement and classification. No previous experience is required. Computing infrastructure will be provided in place, and we welcome participants to bring their own data sets to work on them during this four-day course.

Computing resources

Laptops

Participants will bring their own laptops to access a PSI server which will host the data. However, each participant should also instal in their laptop prior to the workshop:

  • Matlab (R2023a version), a licence free trial version is available.
  • Dynamo
  • Chimera

We will publish here the links to these relevant versions of those packages.

Access to PSI resources

We will publish here a brief guide describing the steps to follow to access the computing resources.

Time Schedule

  • On the third day participants are encouraged to make a flash presentation (3 mins, max. slides) describing their
