Particles set tools

Dear Colleagues,

Is there a way in CryoSPARC to create particle subsets directly from a particle stack, such that each larger group is a superset of the previous one (rather than independent random splits)?

For example, if I have 10 particles in total:

  • Group 1: 2 particles (randomly selected)
  • Group 2: 4 particles (includes all from Group 1 + 2 new ones)
  • Group 3: 8 particles (includes all from Group 2 + 4 new ones)
  • …and so on.

In other words, each new group should contain all particles from the previous group plus additional unique particles, not just a new random sample.

Thank you for your help!

Kind regards,
Dmitry

Hi,

To re-use your example, could you not split your particle stack into 5x2-particle stacks at the outset, and then drag as many subsets as needed to reconstitute the 2/4/8-particle groups?

Cheers,

Dear Yang @leetleyang,
Thanks a lot for your suggestion—really appreciate it! I’ll give it a try.

Best regards,
Dmitry
