Hi Eleanor, The data is perfectly twinned, with the original auto processing assigning a point group of P312, but I reprocessed it in P3 and it seems to be behaving okay. Are there any additional precautions I should take at the phasing stage with twinned data?

Sorry. Only if the twinning is perfect then you apparently get a higher symmetry..
