DIALS

The Diffraction Integration with Advanced Light Sources (DIALS) project is a software suite designed to analyze crystallographic X-ray diffraction data. The software incorporates algorithms for spot finding, indexing, refinement, and integration. The DIALS project is a result of a collaboration between three institutions - Diamond Light Source, Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory, and CCP4. The software is built on a robust architecture with well-defined core algorithms and has been tested on data from a variety of biological and chemical crystallography experiments.

The DIALS project is open-source software that is constantly evolving, with regular updates and improvements. The software has been developed with the aim of being user-friendly, efficient, and versatile. The DIALS team actively encourages community involvement and feedback and provides comprehensive documentation and support.
