Tools to visualize such complexes at nanometer resolution via iterative alignment and averaging are well-developed but rely on assumptions of structural homogeneity among the complexes under consideration. Recently developed downstream analysis tools allow for some assessment of macromolecular diversity but have limited capacity to represent highly heterogeneous macromolecules, including those undergoing continuous conformational changes. Here, we extend the highly expressive cryoDRGN deep learning architecture, originally created for cryo-electron microscopy single particle analysis, to sub-tomograms. Our new tool, tomoDRGN, learns a continuous low-dimensional representation of structural heterogeneity in cryo-ET datasets while also learning to reconstruct a large, heterogeneous ensemble of structures supported by the underlying data. Using simulated and experimental data, we describe and benchmark architectural choices within tomoDRGN that are uniquely necessitated and enabled by cryo-ET data. We additionally illustrate tomoDRGN's efficacy in analyzing an exemplar dataset, using it to reveal extensive structural heterogeneity among ribosomes imaged .
In the structure databanks used in Yorodumi, some data are registered as the other names, "COVID-19 virus" and "2019-nCoV". Here are the details of the virus and the list of structure data.

EMDB accession codes are about to change! (news from PDBe EMDB page)
The allocation of 4 digits for EMDB accession codes will soon come to an end. Whilst these codes will remain in use, new EMDB accession codes will include an additional digit and will expand incrementally as the available range of codes is exhausted. The current 4-digit format prefixed with “EMD-” (i.e. EMD-XXXX) will advance to a 5-digit format (i.e. EMD-XXXXX), and so on. It is currently estimated that the 4-digit codes will be depleted around Spring 2019, at which point the 5-digit format will come into force.
The EM Navigator/Yorodumi systems omit the EMD- prefix.

Yorodumi is a browser for structure data from EMDB, PDB, SASBDB, etc.
This page is also the successor to EM Navigator detail page, and also detail information page/front-end page for Omokage search.
The word "yorodu" (or yorozu) is an old Japanese word meaning "ten thousand". "mi" (miru) is to see.
