cryoTIGER: deep-learning based tilt interpolation generator for enhanced reconstruction in cryo electron tomography - Communications Biology Deep learning-based interpolation using cryoTIGER enhances angular sampling in cryoET, improving 3D reconstructions, particle localization, and structural recovery without increasing electron dose.

❓What if you could peek between your tilt series ❓ We are proud to introduce cryoTIGER -- deep-learning based tilt interpolation for enhanced reconstruction in cryo-ET. A great collaboration between Turoňová lab, @becklab.bsky.social, @hummerlab.bsky.social #teamtomo www.nature.com/articles/s42...

A big win for people and the planet! 🌿
