Accurate size-based protein localization from cryo-ET tomograms by Weisheng Jin, Ye Zhou, Alberto Bartesaghi

“…We compare the performance of our approach against a commonly used algorithm based on deep learning, crYOLO, and show that our method: i) has higher detection accuracy, ii) does not require user input for labeling or time-consuming training, and iii) runs efficiently on non-specialized CPU hardware. We demonstrate the effectiveness of our approach by automatically detecting particles from tomograms representing different types of samples and using these particles to determine the high-resolution structures of ribosomes imaged in vitro and in situ.…”
