Description
3D Electron Microscopy is having a strong biomedical impact helping scientists to reconstruct macromolecular complexes, like Ebola virus, reaching quasi atomic resolutions. Scipion framework integrates tools from several well known EM packages allowing the execution of standardized, traceable and reproducible image-processing protocols, which usually require the use of high performance computing clusters. Cloud infrastructure is the perfect match for both extensive use of computing resources and easy access to software and data which improves scientists work.
