A meta-algorithm for ab initio reconstruction of complex mixtures in cryo-EM

arXiv · AI, language, vision and robotics · article · Aug 26, 2026 · UTC

We describe a systematic approach for spawning and aggregating multi-class cryo-EM reconstruction jobs. This approach formalizes standard ad hoc strategies of iterative classification and filtering typically used by practitioners to sort impure, heterogeneous samples. To our knowledge, this is the first method that can successfully perform ab initio reconstruction on datasets containing dozens of distinct species. We obtain 97% accuracy on ab initio reconstruction of a 45-class subset of Tomotwin-100, 75% accuracy on the full Tomotwin-100 dataset, and demonstrate recovery of ribosomal assembly
