The integration of electron microscopy data sets

Here we report on the outcomes of a workshop organized by the European Molecular Biology Laboratory, European Bioinformatics Institute at  Wellcome Genome Campus in, UK during which we discussed how to integrate structural data from a range of public archives. Representatives of many electron microscopy world-wide were present.  The workshop identified two main priorities: the development of tools and file formats to support segmentation (that is, the decomposition of a three-dimensional volume into regions that can be associated with defined objects), and the development of tools to support the annotation of biological structures.
