Dilated-DenseNet for Macromolecule Classification in Cryo-electron Tomography

Cryo-electron tomography (cryo-ET) combined with subtomogram averaging (STA) is a unique technique in revealing macromolecule structures in their near-native state. However, due to the macromolecular structural heterogeneity, low signal-to-noise-ratio (SNR) and anisotropic resolution in the tomogram, macromolecule classification, a critical step of STA, remains a great challenge.
