Reference based motion correction: empty chart and no results

Reference based motion correction gives no results. Any insight?



It happens sometimes. Try re-running (if you haven’t already) and checking for particles containing NaNs (“Check for Corrupt Particles” job). Some more details on the parameters used might provide more insight… are the movies TIFF, MRC, EER? Super res? Gain corrected or separate gain? Box size? Fourier cropping during Patch Motion Correction? Particle stack box size and downsampling? How clean is the stack?

All the movies are EER file with separated gain reference file. Particles box size is 400 without downsampling and cropping. I have done the RBMR job before with this dataset but differnet particles groups, and it worked for me. After that, I delete the gain reference by accident and add the file agin to the same path. I re-run the job and the issue still happens with empty charts and no results.

The log file show like this:

The TIFFRead errors are normal but annoying with EER, as it is effectively a tiff file. The other errors means micrographs are missing… Have the symlinks/network shares broken?

Solved. The symlinks to the micrographs somehow broken, not sure when and why. Making a new symlinks works. Great thanks for figuring it out.

Glad you got is sorted out! :smiley:
