[3dem] The Fifth Brazil School for Single Particle Cryo-EM (9-21 August 2012) Open for registration!

[Marin van Heel]

Dear All,

After four successful schools in this bi-annual series, we are now 
accepting registrations for:

The Fifth Brazil School for Single Particle Cryo-EM (9-21 August 2012)

This single-particle data processing school is an intensive hands-on 
course/workshop, in which theory and practice are tightly intertwined. 
The spectrum of topics covered suits attendees who are entirely new to 
the field as well as those who wish to acquire an in-depth understanding 
of the methodology. Topics range from data collection and 
three-dimensional reconstruction techniques to the final interpretation 
of the cryo-EM maps by fitting X-ray structures. The last days of the 
meeting will be devoted to advanced topics such as dealing with 
heterogeneous data sets ("4D" cryo electron microscopy) and 
high-resolution refinements. A special emphasis will be placed this time 
on the processing of massive data sets collected automatically with the 
newest generation of microscopes (“KRIOS”).

The attendees are expected to bring along a modern notebook computer 
onto which all necessary software will be installed. Most processing 
will take place in the context of the IMAGIC software system but other 
software packages such as Frealign will be used. Cryo-EM data sets will 
be distributed for processing during the course. The participants may 
bring their own data sets for processing and discussion.

The meeting will take place in the Grinberg's Village Hotel, which is 
situated in the scenic countryside of Socorro, about 2 hours drive from 
São Paulo.
