You want to start tomography? Solve structures inside cells? Reach Nyquist 😳 ? @phaips.vd.st and I have a website for you! tomoguide.github.io You'll find a tutorial on how to reconstruct tomograms, pick particles and do subtomogram averaging, using different software! Hope it will be useful !

Hey #TeamTomo, Ever been in need of a tutorial about the fundamentals of cryo-electron tomography? From preprocessing raw frames to high-res subtomogram averaging? That's why @florentwaltz.bsky.social and I made this website! tomoguide.github.io Follow the thread 1 /🧵 #CryoET #CryoEM 🔬🧪

I'm super happy that our story is now published! 📖 www.science.org/doi/10.1126/... But what changed compared to the original preprint? Also, I feel i should post Movie 1 🎥, that inspired the cover. Back when I did the original bluesky thread, movies were not available.

einstein sent this to curie in 1911 when she was being harassed by tabloids. it contains everything you’d want in such a letter: (1) your haters are trash (2) you’re a baller, a true queen (3) i have determined the statistical law of motion of the diatomic molecule in planck’s radiation field 🧪⚛️

💡 At a joint press conference, the #SNSF and its ERI partners called on the Federal Council to abandon the planned cuts to #education, #research and #innovation in the "relief package 27", as they would have far-reaching consequences for the #economy and society. ➡️ https://buff.ly/3CTR2AM

We (@cellarchlab.com peeps, @manondemulder.bsky.social @phaips.vd.st @fannyleblanc.bsky.social @computingcaitie.bsky.social and Ricardo) had a blast at the EMBO in situ meeting in Heidelberg! Meeting old friends and making new ones! Lots of cool science and new ideas to try 👨🏻‍🔬🔬

It's a good week for rubisco enthusiasts - very cool preprint from Ron Milo lab www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1... impressive screening of +250 genes spanning available diversity of rubisco, this then used to predict activities of 68,000 known sequences revealing role of phylogeny and habitat

Exciting update on the CryoET Data Portal! A new annotation set from Mart Last & team is now live. They’ve doubled available annotations with >1,800 tomograms of Chlamydomonas reinhardtii which now have almost fully dense labels, and all can be visualized in the browser using Neuroglancer.
