Each subdirectory with 12 random characters contains a single 2D classification run, with an image file run_class.mrcs that contains the actual 2D class averages, the files run_model.star, run_data.star, run_sampling.star and run_optimiser.star with the corresponding metadata from RELION's 2D classification run (see RELION documentation for details), a file job_score.txt that contains the manually assigned job score for that 2D classification run, a backup_selection.star file that contains the different categories of assigned classes, which are converted to individual class scores in the class_ranker program (see function ClassRanker::getClassScoreFromJobScore inside src/class_ranker.cpp), and a file features_normalized.star that contains the features calculated by the region_class_ranker program.
One can visualise the images for each class, e.g. in directory cahg4Zo4Goos, with the following command:
Classes shown in red (1 in backup_selection.star) are the best according to the manually assigned class labels in backup_selection.star; magenta (5) are second-best; green (2) third-best; and blue (3) or cyan (4) fourth-best. Yellow classes (6) or non-coloured classes (0) are the worst (score=0).
The normalised_features.star file was calculated in RELION-4.0, running the following command in csh from the main directory:
