News you can use
RELION 5.0 beta release is now available to the public. RELION is a premier cryo-EM data processing suite that allows for high-resolution structure determination. Version 5.0 adds Blush, a machine-learning model for de-noising intermediate reconstructions that has the potential to lower the mass limit for high-resolution particle alignment (40 kDa!!!), and DynaMight, which uses machine learning to model and potentially undo per-particle molecular motions for improved reconstruction.
