Programs at a glance

The Leopard-EM package currently has 4 programs that are easily user-configurable and callable. Each of these programs is built from modular components, namely Pydantic models for input/output parsing and Python functions for data processing; building upon these modular components for more complex workflows is both possible and encouraged.

I want to

  • find particles in cryo-EM images using a reference template --> match_template
  • refine the location, orientations, and defocus values of particles --> refine_template
  • search over pixel size for the micrograph using 2DTM z-scores as the metric --> refine_template
  • search for similar but slightly different structures using already template matched results --> refine_template
  • optimize the pixel size for the reference template using 2DTM z-scores as the metric --> optimize_template
  • adjust b-factors added to the template to increase number of identified particles --> optimize_B_factor

More details on each of the programs can be found on their respective pages, linked below.
