Import result group error

Hi,

I am reprocessing an old dataset, and as a cross check, I would like to import previously used particles from a refinement in the old project (where the micrographs have been deleted).

All I need is the particle locations, which I can then reassign to the new motion corrected micrographs, but it seems neither export/import job or result group will work with this - both complain that data referenced by the result group or cs file is missing (namely the micrographs).

For the purposes of reassigning particles to micrographs I don’t need the original micrographs - just the names for matching, which are there - so it would be useful if there was a way to override this error.

Cheers
Oli

Hi @olibclarke,

We have recorded this as an issue that has additional implications related to deposition, streamlined data archiving, etc. We plan on addressing this in a future release. For right now, the two best options are 1) use pyem, convert to a star file, and import the particle locations or 2) use cs-tools to make a particle dataset that has just mic info and particle location.

Please let us know if you have any other questions!

Thanks,
Kye

Hi Kye - thanks! If I use option 1 though, I think I will still need to manually edit the star file so it will point to the new motion corrected mics, right? Otherwise when I import, it will still fail for the same reason (missing mics)? Same for option 2? Or am I missing something?

Hi @olibclarke,

If you import particles from a star file you should be able to use reassign particles to mic and cut the uid info out so it is just the mic name that is used.

Best,
Kye
