EMAN2 is capable of processing very large data sets (>100,000 particle) very efficiently (up to 20x faster than EMAN1). |

| EMAN2 is not (yet) a replacement for EMAN1, but can enhance EMAN1's capabilities. It was designed so both EMAN1 and EMAN2 can be installed in the same user account with no conflicts. All EMAN2 programs, including GUI programs are written in the easy-to-learn Python scripting language. This permits knowledgable end-users to customize any of the code with unprecendented ease. If you aren't an advanced user, you can still make use of all of EMAN2's command-line programs, all of which start with 'e2'. Any programs in EMAN2 with an EMAN1 equivalent are likely substantially improved over their EMAN1 equivalents.
