Hi Daniel, 
Yes, we tried all possible combinations for the gain rotation/flipping.
Thanks,

You meant actual gainreference.mrc.
I will try what you suggest and will get you back shorlty.
Many thanks,

Hi,

 > Even if we put defect file having two columns as defects, supposing 
that this will mask the two defect lines, this does not always work. The 
lines sometime continue to appear depending on data sets.

"defect file": do you mean a text file that can be specified apart from
a gain reference?

Did you inspect the gain reference and modify it as I suggested?
If not, please do so.

I cannot comment on CryoET as I don't do it at all.

 > Is this a kind of a bad detector that TFS definitely should replace?

It is almost impossible (economically) to make a perfect, defect free
detector. Each manufacturer defines a maximum limit of defects for
an "acceptable" chip.

"The TF manufacturer claims that the detector is within their spec."
suggests that these two lines are within their spec and they are not
willing to replace it, unfortunately.

The situation is the same as hot and dead pixels on an LCD monitor.

 From a developer's perspective, I hope detector software to fill
defective pixels. Different detectors have different defect patterns.
For example, Gatan's K2 detectors tend to have strange 3x3 blobs
(as mentioned in the MotionCor2 paper) but rarely have
line defects. I don't want to implement detector specific correction
algorithms in RELION. This should be handled by the detector software.

Best regards,

Takanori Nakane
