Proud to have contributed a bit to this story with some new tools to measure lipid bilayer thickness locally within tomograms! More to come on that story and we will be adding the measurement tools to the configurable Surface Morphometrics pipeline very soon!

👀👀 Feels like some combination of ArtiaX and segger in chimeraX should do this with a bit of plumbing in between, but does anyone have experience with it?

Anyone know of a program that can take a STAR file and a STA structure and map the structure back to the tomogram at the correct orientations? But then can go one step further and turn that into a volumetric segmentation?
The last step seems to be the hardest to find....

Been a while since I posted about this, but I remain proud of this growing crossword streak! Four years since my last missed puzzle (due to a horrible Krios day!).
