Progress in low-resolution ab initio phasing with CrowdPhase

New developments in CrowdPhase, a collaborative online game for tackling the low-resolution phase problem, are presented. The new features address several crystallographic issues and extend the reach of CrowdPhase to a broader range of experimental data sets.
