EM Software

Listed here are software programs used in the generation, analysis, and fitting of 3D maps from electron microscopy images. Look here for an example of how metadata for software programs are archived. The starting point for the list was the EM software wiki page. Please send corrections/additions to help@emdatabank.org.
