Mosaic

Documentation | Installation

Mosaic translates 3D electron microscopy data into simulation-ready models of biomembranes.

To achieve this, the Mosaic ecosystem unifies membrane segmentation, mesh generation, protein identification, and multi-scale simulation into a graphical user interface.

Quick Start

Mosaic requires Python 3.11 or higher.

pip install mosaic-gui
mosaic &

For detailed installation instructions, see our Installation Guide.

Helfrich Monte Carlo Flexible Fitting (HMFF)

HMFF refines membrane mesh models by uniquely integrating experimental density data into membrane simulations, enabling experimental observations and physical properties to jointly determine membrane conformations. HMFF is implemented in FreeDTS and integrated into the Mosaic workflow. For usage instructions, see our IAV tutorial, and for technical details, consult the FreeDTS User Manual.
