SPIDER Workshop

Welcome
A SPIDER Workshop is planned for May 8-13, 2007. It will provide practical training in the use of the SPIDER system for single-particle reconstruction, including the writing of batch files, and tailoring existing batch files to your applications. The Reconstruction Engine (SPIRE), a convenient graphics user interface for starting and monitoring a job, will be introduced. Morning lectures will provide introductions into concepts of image formation, single-particle reconstruction, and interpretation of cryo-EM maps.
The number of participants will be restricted to 50. Selection will be on the basis of short project descriptions.
The Workshop will take place at the Conference Center in Rensselaerville, about 20 miles south of Albany, in a beautiful park setting.
Cost of the Workshop is $1200 (this includes room accommodation, meals, local transportation and linux laptop rental). REGISTRATION IS NOW CLOSED.
