Hi,
I am guessing what we are talking about here are the maps generated by cryoSPARC 3D variability analysis. See: Punjani A & Fleet DJ (2021) 3D Variability Analysis: Resolving continuous flexibility and discrete heterogeneity from single particle cryo-EM. Journal of Structural Biology: 107702 https://doi.org/10.1016/j.jsb.2021.107702
But this is not the only program that generates series of maps to describe continuous heterogeneity from single-particle cryoEM images, see also cryoDRGN: Zhong ED, Bepler T, Berger B & Davis JH (2021) CryoDRGN: reconstruction of heterogeneous cryo-EM structures using neural networks. Nature Methods: 1–10 https://doi.org/10.1038/s41592-020-01049-4
Except some ideally rigid particles like apoferritin, pretty much everything shows some degree of flexibility that generates continuous heterogeneity in cryoEM images. So, my feeling is that a user-friendly program to fit a series of models (ideally, auto-generated from a single starting model) to a map series is probably going to be a standard requirement pretty soon for typical single-particle cryoEM projects.
Cheers,
Guillaume

Hi Vincent,
this looks like a very specialized task that I've never heard of before! We can add a tool to do that if this becomes something that more than one person does more than once. Meanwhile, a simple script in a language of your preference (python, linux shell, etc) should do the job. I can help with a script if needed, let me know!
Also.. just curious -- what is "3D variability of this map"? Is this one map that is a composition of several map or an ensemble of maps?

Hi Phenix-ers,
I thought to ask for something that I believe you have already implemented, but I'm not sure of the best tool to use.
I have a cryoEM map where I refine my "high resolution" structure. I also have the 3D variability of this map that shows several maps varying around the consensus high-res map. I want to refine an ensemble (20) of structures, one for every 20 maps around the consensus map.
Is there a tool in phenix to do this?
I could refine individually the high-res structure into each map incrementally; since every map differs a little from the original one, Real-space-refinement could move the structure a little at a time. Then I could combine all the PDBs in an ensemble?
A tool to refine variability would be very useful. Input could be a PDB and an ensemble of maps, and output would be all the PDBs combined?
Thank you.
All the best
Vincent
