Anisotropy or Junk?

agreed, looks like good training and should be capable to pick more rares and bolster the dataset with “hidden” particles that were in your data but difficult to pick/identify. to alleviate your original problem of over-representation.

On a different note - you might consider using rebalance orientations (& perhaps BLUSH regularization in relion) as described here: x.com

I have tried iterating single class ab initio & rebalance orientations (discarding paricles with worst alignments3d/error), and in some cases have seen substantial improvement in the quality (isotropy) of the initial model.
