> THE SIXTH BRAZIL SCHOOL FOR SINGLE PARTICLE CRYO-EM.
>
> 14-26 August 2014 (Socorro, São Paulo, Brazil)
> (www.single-particles.org/school
> <http://www.single-particles.org/school>).
>
> Our single-particle school is an intensive 12-day hands-on
> course/workshop, in which theory and practice are tightly
> intertwined. The understanding of the fundamental principles of the
> cryo-EM methodology stands central and a few pioneers of the
> methodology will explain the approaches to the participants to the
> level where they can apply it themselves. The spectrum of topics
> covered suits attendees who are new to the field as well as those
> for whom the technique is of growing importance and who wish to
> acquire an in-depth understanding of the fundamental principles.
>
> The final days of the meeting will be devoted to advanced topics
> such as high-resolution refinements and the processing of
> heterogeneous data sets ("4D cryo–EM”). Special lectures on advanced
> subjects will be presented by Niko Grigorieff (Janelia Farm), Wah
> Chiu (Baylor College), Bruno Klaholz (IGBMC),Ardan Patwardhan
> (EMBL-EBI), and Marin van Heel (Leiden University). Advanced topics
> will include:
>
> 1) Reaching atomic resolution without reference bias: adhering to
> “gold standard” refinement procedures
>
> 2) Automatic, full data-set CTF correction from huge data
> collection experiments (FEI “KRIOS”)
>
> 3) Optimizing data collection with modern image transducers (direct
> electrons detectors; exploiting movies)
>
> 4) Unbiased Random Startup of 3D and 4D reconstructions
