NucleoFind 1.2.0 Help

Model Installation

NucleoFind uses a pre-trained machine learning model to predict where phosphate, sugar and base positions could be in an electron density map. There are two available models, nano and core. The nano model is smaller and faster, at the cost of a tiny amount of performance. If you have the computational resources, the core model is recommended. Before you use NucleoFind you must install one of these models. This is a simple step won't take very long.

This step will also install a small data file used for automated model building.
