Single-particle imaging without symmetry constraints at an X-ray free-electron laser

Data-processing workflow for single-particle imaging experiments at X-ray free-electron lasers is presented. The analysis developed here revealed nanoscale features of the PR772 virus with a resolution better than 10 nm and without any symmetry constraints.
