For this reason, the copick picks format has the capability to store orientations as a transformation matrix. For the purpose of this competition, we chose not to provide orientation information for the experimental data, so you can safely ignore the transformation information (it should be an identity matrix in all provided files). </p>\n<p>If you think this information could be useful to you, take a look at the <a href=\"https://cryoetdataportal.czscience.com/datasets/10441\" target=\"_blank\">simulated dataset</a> on the CZ cryoET data portal for examples of data that includes this information.</p>",
