[phenixbb] twin refinement

[Peter Zwart]

does xtriage suggest twinning as well?

if it doesn't you should merge in p622 and try solution/refinement again.
what does the rvsr statistic say?

the bias problem is known and due to detwinning when computing maps.
Also, make sure you choose you free set properly. Phenix does a good
job in this. ccp4 programs might not, not sure.
