Conversion of Spider Software to UNIX

这个奖项是支持移植的代码的软件包 SPIDER从目前的VMS环境升级到UNIX环境。 的 SPIDER软件包是一个独特的电子图像处理系统， 由主要研究者开发的显微镜， 他的同伙 这一努力将使新技术的单一 粒子平均，相关方法，多变量统计， 单粒子重建和电子断层扫描， 一个很大的用户圈子。 用户群体对 这种转换是有文件记录的。 许多用户访问的增加 这一庞大的资源将作出重大贡献 促进计算生物学的发展。

This award is support the porting of code of the software package SPIDER from its present VMS environment to a UNIX environment. The SPIDER package is a unique image processing system for electron microscopy which was developed by the principal investigator and his associates. This effort will make the new technology of single particle averaging, correlation methods, multivariate statistics, single-particle reconstruction and electron tomography available to a large circle of users. The strong interest among user groups in such a conversion is documented. The increased access of many user groups to this large resources will make a significant contribution to the fostering of Computational Biology.
