We are glad to announce the first Phasing@Home event, an online meeting devoted to presenting XDS, ARCIMBOLDO, Aleph, Phaser and SHELX software and their use in challenging phasing cases.

Talks will be short and focused on covering the advanced usage of the software, so participants are expected to be familiar with the basics already or to browse some basic material provided by us in advance. With this in mind, we will ask participants that want to join the event to contribute with a dataset that they’ve struggled with in the past (even if it is now solved) or that they are currently struggling with. These cases will be shared privately and securely among the organisers and the speakers, who will look at the datasets and, if possible, use them to illustrate the potential issues in their solution and how the software presented can be used to solve those problems. If the datasets are unknown we will discuss with the participant how many details can be shared in the discussion with the rest of the participants.

This event is limited to 25 external participants and provided they meet the requirements of presenting some dataset, the acceptance upon registration will be on a first-come, first-served basis.

The event will be held online on the 13th and 14th of July. Talks will be streamed via Zoom (https://zoom.us/) and interaction among speakers and participants will be through a Discord (https://discord.com/) server.

Dr. Claudia Millán (Institut de Biologia Molecular de Barcelona, IBMB-CSIC)
