A scalable platform for single-particle cryo-EM/ET image analysis

Features

nextPYP is an open-source, end-to-end platform for high-resolution single-particle cryo-EM/ET image analysis

Blog 1
On-the-fly data pre-processing

cryo-EM/ET

Analyze micrographs and tilt-series in real-time, including movie frame alignment, CTF estimation and particle picking. Learn more

Blog 3
Particle picking suite

2D/3D

Pick particles from micrographs or tomograms using size-based, geometry-based or neural network-based methods. Learn more

Blog 2
High-resolution refinement

Single-particle/Sub-tomogram averaging

Multi-mode constrained refinement and classification. Particle-based CTF refinement, movie frame alignment and exposure weighting. Learn more

Portable, easy-to-use, fully featured web-based GUI.

nextPYP features a storage-efficient architecture that avoids saving full-size tomograms, sub-volumes, and particle stacks, allowing routine processing of thousands of micrographs or tilt-series and tens of millions particle projections.
