e2refine2d

e2refine2d.py runs in much the same way as refine2d.py, though it has beein improved in a number of subtle ways in EMAN1

This program will take a set of boxed out particle images and perform iterative reference-free classification to produce a set of representative class-averages. The point of this process is to reduce noise levels, so the overall shape of the particle views present in the data can be better observed. Generally cryo-EM single particles are noisy enough that it is difficult to distinguish subtle, or even not-so-subtle differences between particle images. By aligning and averaging similar particles together, less noisy versions of representative views are created. The class-averages produced by this program are typically used for:

This last point can be used to produce 'population-dynamics' movies of a particle in very close to the same orientation.
