VirtualIce v1.0.0

First release of VirtualIce. Features:

• Generates half-synthetic cryoEM micrographs and particles from buffer images and PDB IDs, EMDB IDs, or local files.
• Creates coordinate files (.star, .mod, .coord), not including particles obscured by junk/substrate or too close to the edge.
• Adds Poisson noise and dose-dependent damage to simulated frames and Gaussian noise to particles.
• Applies the Contrast Transfer Function (CTF) to simulate microscope optics.
• Control over overlapping particles and particle aggregation.
• Outputs micrographs in MRC, PNG, and JPEG formats, and optionally cropped particles as MRCs.
• Multi-core and GPU processing.
• Extensive customization options including particle distribution, ice thickness, microscope parameters, and downsampling.
