Our ab initio algorithm does not depend on atomic coordinates but utilizes the density map directly. We validate the approach for a range of publicly available single-particle cryo-EM datasets. In straightforward cases, our method enables fully automated single-particle 3D reconstruction without having to input an arbitrarily selected point-group symmetry. When pseudo-symmetry is present, our method provides statistics quantifying the degree to which the 3D density agrees with the different point-groups tested.<\/jats:p>\n               <\/jats:sec>\n               <jats:sec>\n                  <jats:title>Availability and implementation<\/jats:title>\n                  <jats:p>The software is freely available at https:\/\/github.com\/hael\/SIMPLE3.0.<\/jats:p>\n               <\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.1093\/bioinformatics\/btz904","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2019,11,28]],"date-time":"2019-11-28T12:12:37Z","timestamp":1574943157000},"page":"2237-2243","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":5,"title":["Point-group symmetry detection in three-dimensional charge density of biomolecules"],"prefix":"10.1093","volume":"36","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-6258-2697","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Cyril F","family":"Reboul","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Biochemistry and Molecular Biology, Biomedicine Discovery Institute , Melbourne, VIC 3800, Australia"},{"name":"Australian Research Council Centre of Excellence in Advanced Molecular Imaging, Monash University , Melbourne, VIC 3800, Australia"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Simon","family":"Kiesewetter","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Biochemistry and Molecular Biology, Biomedicine Discovery Institute , Melbourne, VIC 3800, Australia"},{"name":"Australian Research Council Centre of Excellence in Advanced Molecular Imaging, Monash University , Melbourne, VIC 3800, Australia"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Dominika","family":"Elmlund","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Biochemistry and Molecular Biology, Biomedicine Discovery Institute , Melbourne, VIC 3800, Australia"},{"name":"Australian Research Council Centre of Excellence in Advanced Molecular Imaging, Monash University , Melbourne, VIC 3800, Australia"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Hans","family":"Elmlund","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Biochemistry and Molecular Biology, Biomedicine Discovery Institute , Melbourne, VIC 3800, Australia"},{"name":"Australian Research Council Centre of Excellence in Advanced Molecular Imaging, Monash University , Melbourne, VIC 3800, Australia"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"286","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2019,12,2]]},"reference":[{"key":"2023062304263830300_btz904-B1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"2059","DOI":"10.1107\/S2059798318006551","article-title":"Real-space refinement in PHENIX for cryo-EM and crystallography","volume":"74","author":"Afonine","year":"2018","journal-title":"Acta Crystallogr.
