Hello,

I can’t find anything about this online, but I was told that there should be some control on the components of rmf3 files. Specifically, I would like to map my data onto an rmf structure from IMP. Normally I would use render/define attribute for some types of data and xlinkanalyzer plugin for crosslink data.

However, I can’t quite figure out how to control rmf structures in this same manner. I am hoping I could do something like this: given a bead with residue x and another bead containing residue y, I can map a crosslink to those beads. Likewise, with render by attribute, I can color the beads containing the relevant residues.

The farthest I was able to get was reading the rmfalias documentation but that is also a bit confusing and I was not able to perform the aliasing – specifically it says

rmfalias [ depth N ] [ skip_prefix M ] [ rmf filename ]

as the command but then it gives an example

filename/nodename1/nodename2/nodename3

which seems to contradict the “usage” format. Either way I was not able to select or alias-name the beads I would like. Below I attached an example of the hierarchy in my file, how can I select e.g. “13-22_bead” of “EED”?

I hope this was not a confusing question, let me know if I need to clarify. I can also email Ben Webb from the Sali lab if this is more relevant for them.

Thank you,

Dan
