hi, is it possible to do subtraction, then align, then swap out the particles so that I have my unsubtracted particles using my alignments from the subtracted ones? The reason is that I have density that is messing up alignment. I want to remove it just to get the alignment of the core, then revert back so I can see how the subtracted areas look once I’ve aligned correctly on the core.
Unfortunately there is no way to directly do this with the current functionality in cryoSPARC. Thank you for pointing this out, it would be a very useful tool and we’ll add it to a list of possible future improvements.
Just an FYI for any future readers browsing: this functionality (i.e. using alignments from a subtracted stack of particles, but using the original un-subtracted images for a local refinement or otherwise) should be supported using the lower-level input functionality in the job builder, and Daniel Asarnow provided a brief description about how to do this here: Keep linked copies of original particles after signal subtraction
@mmclean - you should be able to do this now using the standalone reconstruction job with lower level inputs, right? change particle image inputs to unsubtracted, but use orientations from subtracted?
