Quickstart: heterogeneous reconstruction with consensus poses

1. Preprocess image stack

First resize your particle images using the cryodrgn downsample command:

$ cryodrgn downsample -h
usage: cryodrgn downsample [-h] -D D -o MRCS [--is-vol] [--chunk CHUNK]
                           [--datadir DATADIR]
                           mrcs

Downsample an image stack or volume by clipping fourier frequencies

positional arguments:
  mrcs               Input particles or volume (.mrc, .mrcs, .star, or .txt)

optional arguments:
  -h, --help         show this help message and exit
  -D D               New box size in pixels, must be even
  -o MRCS            Output projection stack (.mrcs)
  --is-vol           Flag if input .mrc is a volume
  --chunk CHUNK      Chunksize (in # of images) to split particle stack when
                     saving
  --relion31         Flag for relion3.1 star format
  --datadir DATADIR  Optionally provide path to input .mrcs if loading from a
                     .star or .cs file

Since larger images take (much) longer to train, we recommend first downsampling images to 128x128:

$ cryodrgn downsample [input particle stack] -D 128 -o particles.128.mrcs

The maximum recommended image size is D=256, so we also recommend downsampling your images to D=256 if your images are larger than 256x256:

$ cryodrgn downsample [input particle stack] -D 256 -o particles.256.mrcs

The input file format can be a single .mrcs file, a .txt file containing paths to multiple .mrcs files, a .star file, or a cryoSPARC .cs file. For the latter two options, if the relative paths to the .mrcs are broken, the argument --datadir can be used to supply the path to where the .mrcs files are located.

If there are memory issues with downsampling large particle stacks, add the --chunk 10000 argument to save images as separate .mrcs files of 10k images.

2. Parse image poses from a consensus homogeneous reconstruction

CryoDRGN expects image poses to be stored in a binary pickle format (.pkl). Use the parse_pose_star or parse_pose_csparc command to extract the poses from a .star file or a .cs file, respectively.

Example usage to parse image poses from a RELION 3.1 starfile:

$ cryodrgn parse_pose_star particles.star -o pose.pkl -D 300

Example usage to parse image poses from a cryoSPARC homogeneous refinement particles.cs file:

$ cryodrgn parse_pose_csparc cryosparc_P27_J3_005_particles.cs -o pose.pkl -D 300

The -D argument should be set to the box size of the original consensus reconstruction (before any downsampling).

Note: Poses should be obtained from a C1 consensus refinement! (See ml-struct-bio#21)

3. Parse CTF parameters from a .star/.cs file

CryoDRGN expects CTF parameters in be stored a binary pickle format (.pkl). Use the parse_ctf_star or parse_ctf_csparc command to extract the relevant CTF parameters from a .star file or a .cs file, respectively.

Example usage for a .star file:

$ cryodrgn parse_ctf_star particles.star -D 300 --Apix 1.03 -o ctf.pkl

The -D and --Apix arguments should be set to the box size and Angstrom/pixel of the original .mrcs file (before any downsampling).

Example usage for a .cs file:

$ cryodrgn parse_ctf_csparc cryosparc_P27_J3_005_particles.cs -o ctf.pkl

4. (Optional) Test pose/CTF parameters parsing

Next, test that pose and CTF parameters were parsed correctly using the voxel-based backprojection script. The goal is to quickly verify that there are no major problems with the extracted values and that the output structure resembles the structure from the consensus reconstruction before beginning training.

Example usage:

$ cryodrgn backproject_voxel projections.128.mrcs \
        --poses pose.pkl \
        --ctf ctf.pkl \
        -o backproject.128.mrc

The output structure backproject.128.mrc will not match the consensus reconstruction exactly as the backproject_voxel command backprojects phase-flipped particles onto the voxel grid, and by default only uses the first 10k images. If the structure is too noisy, you can increase the number of images that are used with the --first argument.

Note: If the volume does not resemble your structure, you may need to use the flag --uninvert-data. This flips the data sign (e.g. light-on-dark or dark-on-light), which may be needed depending on the convention used in upstream processing tools.

5. Running cryoDRGN heterogeneous reconstruction

When the input images (.mrcs), poses (.pkl), and CTF parameters (.pkl) have been prepared, a cryoDRGN model can be trained with following command:

$ cryodrgn train_vae -h

Many of the parameters of this script have sensible defaults. The required arguments are:

  • an input image stack (.mrcs or other listed file types)
  • --poses, image poses (.pkl) that correspond to the input images
  • --ctf, ctf parameters (.pkl), unless phase-flipped images are used
  • --zdim, the dimension of the latent variable
  • -o, a clean output directory for storing results

Additional parameters which are typically set include:

  • -n, Number of epochs to train
  • --uninvert-data, Use if particles are dark on light (negative stain format)
  • Architecture parameters with --enc-layers, --enc-dim, --dec-layers, --dec-dim
  • --multigpu to enable parallelized training across multiple GPUs

Recommended usage:

  1. It is highly recommended to first train on lower resolution images (e.g. D=128) to sanity check results and perform any particle filtering.

Example command to train a cryoDRGN model for 25 epochs on an image dataset projections.128.mrcs with poses pose.pkl and ctf parameters ctf.pkl:

# 8-D latent variable model, small images
$ cryodrgn train_vae projections.128.mrcs \
        --poses pose.pkl \
        --ctf ctf.pkl \
        --zdim 8 -n 25 \
        -o 00_cryodrgn128
  1. After validation, pose optimization, and any necessary particle filtering, then train on the full resolution images (up to D=256):

Example command to train a cryoDRGN model for 25 epochs on an image dataset projections.256.mrcs with poses pose.pkl and ctf parameters ctf.pkl:

# 8-D latent variable model, larger images
$ cryodrgn train_vae projections.256.mrcs \
        --poses pose.pkl \
        --ctf ctf.pkl \
        --zdim 8 -n 25 \
        -o 01_cryodrgn256

The number of epochs -n refers to the number of full passes through the dataset for training, and should be modified depending on the number of particles in the dataset. For a 100k particle dataset on 1 V100 GPU, the above settings required ~12 min/epoch for D=128 images and ~47 min/epoch for D=256 images.

If you would like to train longer, a training job can be extended with the --load argument. For example to extend the training of the previous example to 50 epochs:

$ cryodrgn train_vae projections.256.mrcs \
        --poses pose.pkl \
        --ctf ctf.pkl \
        --zdim 8 -n 50 \
        -o 01_cryodrgn256 \
        --load 01_cryodrgn256/weights.24.pkl # 0-based indexing

Accelerated training with GPU parallelization

Use cryoDRGN's --multigpu flag to enable parallelized training across all detected GPUs on the machine. To select specific GPUs for cryoDRGN to run on, use the environmental variable CUDA_VISIBLE_DEVICES, e.g.:

$ cryodrgn train_vae ... # Run on GPU 0
$ cryodrgn train_vae ... --multigpu # Run on all GPUs on the machine
$ CUDA_VISIBLE_DEVICES=0,3 cryodrgn train_vae ... --multigpu # Run on GPU 0,3

When training is parallelized across multiple GPUs, the batch size (number of images trained in each mini-batch of SGD; default -b 8) will be automatically scaled by the number of available GPUs to better take advantage of parallelization. Depending on your compute resources, GPU utilization may be improved with -b 16. However, note that GPU parallelization, while leading to a faster wall-clock time per epoch, may require increasing the total number of epochs, since the training dynamics are affected (fewer model updates per epoch with larger -b).

Note: We recommend using --multigpu for large images, e.g. D=256. GPU computation may not be the training bottleneck for smaller images (D=128). In this case, GPU parallelization may have a limited effect on the wall clock training time (while taking up additional compute resources).

Local pose refinement -- EXPERIMENTAL!

Depending on the quality of the consensus reconstruction, image poses may contain errors. Image poses may be locally refined using the --do-pose-sgd flag. Please consult Ellen Zhong (zhonge@princeton.edu) for details.

6. Analysis of results

Once the model has finished training, the output directory will contain a configuration file config.pkl, neural network weights weights.pkl, image poses (if performing pose sgd) pose.pkl, and the latent embeddings for each image z.pkl. The latent embeddings are provided in the same order as the input particles. To analyze these results, use the cryodrgn analyze command to visualize the latent space and generate structures. cryodrgn analyze will also provide a template jupyter notebook for further interactive visualization and analysis.

NEW in version 1.0: There are two additional tools cryodrgn analyze_landscape and cryodrgn analyze_landscape_full for more comprehensive and auomated analyses of cryodrgn results.

cryodrgn analyze

$ cryodrgn analyze -h
usage: cryodrgn analyze [-h] [--device DEVICE] [-o OUTDIR] [--skip-vol]
                        [--skip-umap] [--Apix APIX] [--flip] [--invert]
                        [-d DOWNSAMPLE] [--pc PC] [--ksample KSAMPLE]
                        workdir epoch

Visualize latent space and generate volumes

positional arguments:
  workdir               Directory with cryoDRGN results
  epoch                 Epoch number N to analyze (0-based indexing,
                        corresponding to z.N.pkl, weights.N.pkl)

optional arguments:
  -h, --help            show this help message and exit
  --device DEVICE       Optionally specify CUDA device
  -o OUTDIR, --outdir OUTDIR
                        Output directory for analysis results (default:
                        [workdir]/analyze.[epoch])
  --skip-vol            Skip generation of volumes
  --skip-umap           Skip running UMAP

Extra arguments for volume generation:
  --Apix APIX           Pixel size to add to .mrc header (default: 1 A/pix)
  --flip                Flip handedness of output volumes
  --invert              Invert contrast of output volumes
  -d DOWNSAMPLE, --downsample DOWNSAMPLE
                        Downsample volumes to this box size (pixels)
  --pc PC               Number of principal component traversals to generate
                        (default: 2)
  --ksample KSAMPLE     Number of kmeans samples to generate (default: 20)

This script runs a series of standard analyses:

  • PCA visualization of the latent embeddings
  • UMAP visualization of the latent embeddings
  • Generation of volumes. See note [1].
  • Generation of trajectories along the first and second principal components of the latent embeddings
  • Generation of a template jupyter notebook that may be used for further interactive analyses, visualization, and volume generation
  • Generation of a template jupyter notebook for particle filtering and selection

Example usage to analyze results from the direction 01_cryodrgn256 containing results after 25 epochs of training:

$ cryodrgn analyze 01_cryodrgn256 24 --Apix 1.31

Notes:

[1] Volumes are generated after k-means clustering of the latent embeddings with k=20 by default. Note that we use k-means clustering here not to identify clusters, but to segment the latent space and generate structures from different regions of the latent space. The number of structures that are generated may be increased with the option --ksample.

[2] The cryodrgn analyze command chains together a series of calls to cryodrgn eval_vol and scripts that can be run separately for more flexibility. These scripts are located in the analysis_scripts directory within the source code.

Generating additional volumes

Example usage:

To generate a volume at a single value of the latent variable:

$ cryodrgn eval_vol [YOUR_WORKDIR]/weights.pkl --config [YOUR_WORKDIR]/config.pkl -z ZVALUE -o reconstruct.mrc

The number of inputs for -z must match the dimension of your latent variable.

Or to generate a trajectory of structures from a defined start and ending point, use the --z-start and --z-end arugments:

$ cryodrgn eval_vol [YOUR_WORKDIR]/weights.pkl --config [YOUR_WORKDIR]/config.pkl --z-start -3 --z-end 3 -n 20 -o [WORKDIR]/trajectory

This example generates 20 structures at evenly spaced values between z=[-3,3], assuming a 1-dimensional latent variable model.

Finally, a series of structures can be generated using values of z given in a file specified by the arugment --zfile:

$ cryodrgn eval_vol [WORKDIR]/weights.pkl --config [WORKDIR]/config.pkl --zfile zvalues.txt -o [WORKDIR]/trajectory

The input to --zfile is expected to be an array of dimension (N_volumes x zdim), loaded with np.loadtxt.

Making trajectories

Two additional commands can be used in conjunction with cryodrgn eval_vol to generate trajectories:

$ cryodrgn pc_traversal -h
$ cryodrgn graph_traversal -h

These scripts produce a text file of z values that can be input to cryodrgn eval_vol to generate a series of structures that can be visualized as a trajectory in ChimeraX (https://www.cgl.ucsf.edu/chimerax).

An example usage of the graph traversal algorithm is here (ml-struct-bio#16 (comment)).

CryoDRGN2 -- Ab Initio Reconstruction

To perform ab initio heterogeneous reconstruction, use cryodrgn abinit_het. The arguments are similar to cryodrgn train_vae, but the --poses argument is not required.

For homogeneous reconstruction, run cryodrgn abinit_homo.

Documentation: https://www.notion.so/CryoDRGN2-quickstart-322823599fce4bd7a391d00bf749ab1f.

The defaults match the settings reported in the CryoDRGN2 manuscript.
