<div><br></div><div>It's not immediately obvious to me why this would be the case - however, I would caution you that the estimation of anomalous signal in Xtriage isn't very robust. The newer builds will calculate CC(anom) if you give it unmerged data, which we think is more useful. It does seem weird that it would claim that the signal goes to 4Å when the anomalous map is flat, however.</div>

In the difference map, I can clearly see some peaks at high sigma (> 6), but the anomalous difference map(they are all generated by phenix.refine or phenix.maps) is almost featureless, or the peaks has no overlaps. The anomalous difference gives the possible place of Br while the difference map gives the possible place of the whole ligand, and I assume there should be some overlaps between them. Am I right?</font></div>
