Specifications
CrySis is a program designed to serve as an automated quality control
tool for digital protein crystallography diffraction patterns.
Long Term Goals: CrySis, which is an acronym for Crystal
Analysis, will be a premier software package designed to encompass all
key aspects of High-throughput crystallography. It will be integrated
with a robotic control mechanism and capable of fully automatic crystal
loading, testing, collecting and even, eventually, structure solving.
CrySis will allow the crystallographer to insert a collection of crystals
into the device and be assured that data collection is executed in a smooth,
rapid and hands-free manner.
Near Term Goals: CrySis has been proven to work with
many diffraction patterns, however before it can be released into the
public the analysis algorithms must be perfected. The addition of more
rigorous criteria will enable CrySis to make accurate predictions even
with borderline crystals. In the upcoming months the new GUI will be completed
and new analysis parameters will be explored so that CrySis can fulfil
the project goals.
