Helix/bwVisu/CryoSPARC

CryoSPARC is a scientific software platform for cryo-electron microscopy (cryo-EM) used in research and drug discovery pipelines.

CryoSPARC License

For starting a CryoSPARC in bwVisu you need your personal CryoSPARC license ID. To obtain a license ID, go to CryoSPARC and fill out the form. The licnese ID will be send by e-mail. You only need one licence ID, which you can use every time you start a CryoSPARC job in bwVisu.

CryoSPARC Application

The CryoSPACE application starts a CryoSPARC master process and a worker process on the allocated compute node. You must request enough time and resources for the work you intend to do within a CryoSPARC session. If the application stops due to the time limit, you can restart the application and continue your pipeline from completed CryoSPARC jobs.

Note that the CryoSPARC application creates a database in the .cryosparc directory in your home directory the first time it is used. You can only start one CryoSPARC application at a time. Do not attempt to start more than one CryoSPARC application. This could damage your database.

Downloads

When you download results, they are initially saved in your home directory. From there, you can download the results to your system via the file browser in bwVisu.
