Handling sample heterogeneity in serial crystallography
29 Aug 2014 | Teaching Materials
Oliver Zeldin (Stanford)
Serial crystallography data is made up of images obtained from a population of slightly in-homogenous crystals. We will discuss clustering and filtering approaches to (1) characterizing sample heterogeneity in unmerged data, and (2) identifying optimal sub-sets of images …
