About the Node

🎯 Mission

Provide FAIR and interoperable services for the validation of cryo-EM structural data, enabling automated quality assessment, open access to validation results, and seamless integration with the EOSC ecosystem.

👥 Target Groups

Structural biology researchers, the cryo-EM community, research infrastructures, electron microscopy facilities, life science projects, and pharmaceutical and biotechnology companies.

⚙️ Key Functionalities

Automated cryo-EM validation, FAIR validation repository, cloud workflow execution, EOSC integration, and portable validation containers.

Case Study

Cryo-EM Validation and Reproducible Analysis

User Profile

Structural biologists and Cryo-EM researchers who generate or analyse 3D reconstructions and require reliable validation of their maps and atomic models before publication or downstream analysis.

Need

Researchers need an accessible, reproducible, and standardized way to assess the quality and consistency of Cryo-EM maps and associated experimental data without installing complex software or relying on dedicated computing infrastructure.

Solution

The Cryo-EM Validation Report Service automatically validates Cryo-EM datasets and generates a comprehensive PDF validation report, helping researchers assess the quality and consistency of their maps and supporting data.

Benefits

Improves confidence in Cryo-EM results through standardized validation, supports reproducible research, enables informed decisions before deposition in EMDB/PDB, and lowers the technical barriers to performing advanced validation.

EOSC Beyond

The CNB-CSIC participates in EOSC Beyond providing FAIR and interoperable services for cryo-EM data validation. It offers the Cryo-EM Validation Report Service, a public validation data repository, and cloud-compatible workflows integrated with EOSC services to enhance the quality and reuse of structural biology data.
