**//WARNING: This page was written in the early days of EMAN2 and some of its concepts are no longer accurate. For example, the BDB database system was retired over a decade ago in favor of HDF and LST files. There are still some useful things here, but take them with a grain of salt.//**


====== Moving from EMAN1 to the EMAN2 Workflow ======

The EMAN2 workflow currently offers an integrated solution for:

  * [[Ws2011/Eman2|Traditional single particle reconstruction]]
  * [[http://blake.grid.bcm.edu/emanwiki/EMAN2/Tutorials?action=AttachFile&do=get&target=e2spt_users_guide.pdf|Single particle tomography (sub-tomogram averaging)]]
  * [[http://blake.grid.bcm.edu/emanwiki/Ws2011/Agenda?action=AttachFile&do=get&target=3_1_murray_frealign.pdf|Using external tools like Frealign or Xmipp]]

This is an excellent choice for both EMAN1 users as well as users new to EMAN, and is the interface I personally use when I do refinements (with a few small exceptions). Each of the links above is to a detailed tutorial for the corresponding task.
