| There are a large number of '''software tools''' or ] that have been specifically developed for the field sometimes referred to as '''molecular microscopy''' or ] or cryoEM. Several special issues of the Journal of Structural Biology (see references below) have been specifically devoted to descriptions of these applications and several web sites provide partial lists of the software packages and where to obtain them. This article is being created to provide a starting point for a more complete list and up-to-date distribution information of all of the software of interest to the cryoEM community. | |||
| The software tools described here have been loosely and somewhat arbitrarily organized into several categories as follows: | |||
| {{Rwh}} | |||
| '''General packages:''' Packages that offer a comprehensive set of tools t o permit the analysis of data in several classes of structural problems. | |||
| '''Specific packages:''' Packages that offer a comprehensive set of tools to permit the analysis of data in a single class of structural problem. For example packages specifically focused on objects with helical, icosahedral, crystalline symmetry, etc. | |||
| '''Application tools:''' Packages that offer a tool or a set of tools to permit the analysis of data in one or more class of structural problems. These have generally been developed to manage one specific step in the structural analysis, for example CTF correction, particle picking etc. | |||
| '''Visualization tools:''' Packages that facilitate the analysis or presentation of the results. | |||

| :A suite of scientific image processing tools aimed primarily at ]. This is a technique for determining the 3-D structure of a molecule or macromolecular assembly from thousands to hundreds of thousands of noisy images of individual molecules, generally collected on a ]. EMAN's focus is on providing state of the art single particle reconstruction methods automated to the greatest extent possible. The goal is to permit even novice users to be able to reconstruct macromolecular structures with high veracity and at high resolution. It also has a variety of tools for more generic image processing, useful for electron tomography, 2-D crystallography and helical reconstructions. | |||
| :EMAN consists of a ~100,000 line C++ library with bindings to the popular ]. It offers literally hundreds of different scientific image processing algorithms including Fourier processing, real-space filters, 3-D reconstruction, projection, etc. In EMAN2, all user-level programs, including GUI programs, are written in Python, permitting the advanced user to easily customize aspects of the package. EMAN is funded by the through grant R01GM080139. | |||
