Dear Filip, CCP4BB, 3DEM, and PDB-L list members,
Thank you for your enthusiastic showing of community support for mandatory
deposition of cryoEM maps to EMDB and for their timely release.
The two year hold is available to EMDB depositors for just one practical
reason: it encourages
sent on behalf of the EMDATABANK.org team:
The EM Databank (EMDB, http://www.emdatabank.org/) is a resource for the
archival deposition and retrieval of EM maps and associated metadata. It was
established in 2002 by the European Bioinformatics Institute (EMBL-EBI, UK),
and is now run jointly
Dear Cathy/EMDATABANK team:
It is hard to comprehend the option for keeping maps on hold for up to 2
years. It seems any depositor would do this for pure selfish reasons: keep
the data to themselves, don't allow anybody to verify the data for a long
time, and have the exclusive right to do
Dear crystallographers,
For those of you who have shared personal frustration with cryoEM map
availability, or for those of you who would simply like to see science
proceed as it should, here's your opportunity to sign an on-line petitition.
Please feel free to send the link below to any of your
Dear colleagues,
whereas data sharing for most crystallographers appears to be a no-brainer,
making coordinates and (most of the time, hopefully) structure factors
available, it seems the electron microscopists are drastically lagging
behind when it comes to making data available.
Many cryoEM
