Show abstract
Electron cryo-microscopy (cryoEM) three-dimensional (3D) reconstruction is based on estimations of orientations of projection images or 3D volumes. It is common that the macromolecules studied by cryoEM have molecular symmetry, which, unfortunately, has not been taken into consideration by any statistics for either spatial rotations or projection directions at this point. Meanwhile, there are growing needs to adopt advanced statistical methods, and further, modern machine learning techniques in cryoEM. Since those methodologies are built heavily upon statistical learning cornerstones, the absence of their domain-specific statistical justification limits their applications in cryoEM. In this research, based on the concept of non-unique-games (NUG), we propose two key statistical measurements, the mean and the variance, of both spatial rotations and projection directions when molecular symmetry is considered. Such methods are implemented in the open-source python package pySymStat.

"Similar papers" are the closest papers from that journal in the model's embedding space. They show what the match is built on, but the ranking comes mostly from a classifier over the whole training set, not from these examples alone.
