[3dem] EMDataBank Challenges: Upcoming Deadlines

[Cathy Lawson]

Dear List Members,

This is a reminder posting about EMDataBank community-wide challenges to critically evaluate 3DEM methods that are coming into use, with the ultimate goal of developing recommendations for validation criteria associated with every 3DEM map deposited to the EM Data Bank (EMDB) and map-derived model deposited to Protein Data Bank (PDB).

The two current challenges focus, respectively, on reconstruction and modelling at moderate to high resolution, with the goals of establishing benchmarks, comparing current practices, and evolving criteria for evaluation of results. Based on registrations we are anticipating a substantial number of map reconstructions and model coordinates. 

Please note the following upcoming deadlines:

Map Challenge submissions: March 31, 2016.

Model Challenge submissions: April 31, 2016.
