ResMap

ResMap (Resolution Map) is a Python (NumPy/SciPy) application with a Tkinter GUI. It is an easy to use software package for computing the local resolution of 3D density maps studied in structural biology, primarily electron cryo-microscopy (cryo-EM).

Simple interface. Cross-platform GUI.

ResMap provides a clear graphical interface. You can easily load your 3D density map (MRC format) and input your voxel spacing. Optional inputs are provided and explained right in the same window.

Visualization? Your choice of 2D, 3D, or both.

ResMap outputs a 3D volume the same size of your input volume. You can immediately see the results with in-house 2D visualizations. If you have UCSF Chimera installed, ResMap can also animate the result in Chimera. (Thanks, Tom!)


Prefer the command line? We have that covered, too.

The exact same functionality can be accessed via the command line. This is useful if you want to batch process many volumes.
