We are happy to release LocScale2.0: a tool for context-aware, confidence-weighted cryoEM map optimisation.

Taking two half maps as input, LcoScale-2.0 produces feature-enhanced maps along with a robust confidence score that guides objective map interpretation.

Scientific Director, Cal-Cryo. We are looking for an outstanding microscopist to run our cryo-EM facility (two Krioses and an Arctica), increase training, engagement, and collaboration on campus, expand our user base, and join our community of cutting edge cryo-EM researchers. tinyurl.com/ykasna3p

PhDs in biochemistry, structural biology, pharmacology, or similar, located in the US and with strong publication track records and a high motivation to solve Parkinson's, please send CV directly to me at jimhurley@berkeley.edu.
Repost appreciated.

Proud of new work tinyurl.com/yhz4c6ry from the lab by Zhicheng (Chen) Cui using single-particle cryo-EM on liposomes to show how mTORC1 integrates nutrient and growth factor signaling at lysosomes, collab. w/
G. Napolitano,A. Esposito, and A. Ballabio.

Better late than never: no more excuses for losing essential #SerialEM configuration files - a video tutorial explaining file types, backup and restore strategies is now online at vimeo.com/1023251181

Repost appreciated:
