easymode 1.2.0

easymode

pretrained neural networks for cellular cryoET

Easymode is a collection of general pretrained neural networks for cellular cryo-electron tomography (cryoET). It provides single command line interface functions to handle feature detection: segmentation of cellular features, coordinate extraction, and data preprocessing. Inspired by, built on, and built to work with: Warp/M, RELION, MemBrain-seg, Ais, and Pom.

Pretrained networks are hosted on HuggingFace and downloaded automatically on first use. See the user guide for detailed usage.

training data

All networks were trained on a dataset of over 4500 tilt series from 68+ sources, covering many prokaryotic, archaeal, and eukaryotic species, different sample preparation techniques, hardware configurations, pixel sizes, electron doses, and defocus values. Tomograms were reconstructed in multiple flavours using WarpTools, AreTomo3, cryoCARE, and DeepDeWedge at 10.0 A voxel size. See the preprint for more details.
