Particle orientations

Does cryoSPARC use the alignment parameters that are present in the imported metafile?

Hi @rkhayat1,

No, right now there are no jobs that use the alignments from an imported .star file or the output .csv files from other cryoSPARC jobs.
The only data used from the original dataset inputs are the CTF and microscope params, and the only data currently used from output csv’s are the class assignment probabilities.

Reza, we community members should push all package developers to import/export the EMX format (http://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S1047847716300235) so that we can use metadata (orientations, CTF, &c) from one program in another program and achieve cross-platform traceability.
