PHASER
PHASER is a program for phasing macromolecular crystal structures with maximum likelihood methods. It has been developed by Randy Read's group at the University of Cambridge. It currently has methods for brute force and fast likelihood-based rotation and translation functions for molecular replacement. Methods for experimental phasing are under development. 
Features

    * There is an automatic mode
    * Packing function
    * Anisotropy correction
    * Fast Rotation function
    * Fast Translation function
    * Brute Rotation function
    * Brute Translation function

PHASER runs on Linux machines s; the executable is:
/joule2/programs/lx_bin/phaser or just type "phaser"

The program is installed in /joule2/programs/phaser/phaser-linux-1.3.1:
