Abstract

We are running a serial femtosecond crystallography data analysis workshop at ACA 2015 in Philadelphia, PA, focused on "Serial Crystallography Data Analysis with Cheetah and CrystFEL: Concepts and Tutorials". 
www.amercrystalassn.org/2015-wk.02

See Series below to view videos and presentations from this workshop  

Workshop format:
The workshop will start with an introductory seminar, followed by most of the day dedicated to detailed hands-on tutorials with data sets collected at LCLS using the software suites Cheetah and CrystFEL, two of the most commonly used packages for SFX analysis. 
We will begin at 9 am and conclude at 5 pm. 
 
Workshop Schedule:


Target audience:

This workshop is intended for graduate students, postdocs and young scientists interested in the details of serial femtosecond crystallography data analysis. It is not intended as an introduction to crystallography. Participants will be assumed to have at least a 
basic knowledge of conventional crystallographic data analysis, as we will focus on the specific features of SFX analysis. Participants are strongly encouraged to obtain familiarity with Unix commands prior to attending. 

We will assume participants have some basic knowledge of conventional crystallographic data analysis such as what indexing, integration, and merging are and will instead focus on the specific features of serial crystallography analysis. Participants will also be expected to have familiarity with Unix commands. 
Practice data (from 
http://cxidb.org ) will be available, and participants are welcome to bring their own SFX data. 
Computing resources and temporary data storage space will be provided by LCLS, SLAC National Accelerator Laboratory. 
Students will be sent detailed information prior to the workshop to ensure they have an active Unix account at SLAC, and bring  bring laptops with appropriate software preinstalled.     The 2015 ACA meeting is an excellent opportunity and appropriate venue to bring together experts in serial crystallography data analysis with students and motivated young scientists interested in learning how to become successful in SFX data analysis. This workshop complements the ACA 2015 Session 2.2.1: Advances in serial crystallography and practical aspects of dealing with multiple crystals. 
This conference session, co-chaired by 2 of the workshop organizers, will provide an overview of XFEL SFX and its rapid development, recent implementations of serial crystallography at synchrotrons, dealing with practical and computations issues with data from multiple crystals, as well as some exciting recent biological results obtained with SFX. The workshop will provide hands-on training for the analysis of serial crystallographic data from "raw" data to a reflection list that can be used in further crystallographic analysis.
