DNA Introduction - OLD

Welcome to the DNA project web server. The DNA project was launched in July 2001 following a meeting at the ESRF. The project is a collaboration presently involving the list below, but this is not an exclusive club and we welcome genuine collaboration. Its eventual aim is to completely automate the collection and processing of Protein Crystallography data. Initially the project will develop what we are calling an 'expert system' sitting between data collection software at a given x-ray synchrotron and MOSFLM. The project however also aims to allow the use of other data processing software.

Andrew Leslie has written an overall project description.

DNA Introduction - New!

Welcome to the DNA project web server. The DNA project was launched in July 2001 following a meeting at the ESRF. The project is currently a collaboration between the ESRF, Daresbury Laboratory and MRC LMB in Cambridge, although there are no barriers to involvement from other interested parties and we welcome genuine collaboration.

The goal of the DNA project is to automate the collection and processing of Protein Crystallography data, using an `expert' system for all of the decision making. Initially we are developing a suite of programs for collecting reference images, characterising the crystal and then collecting data according to a suitable strategy. This makes use of data collection software from the ESRF and DL,
