Hello fellow biologists and relatives,
I am in the process of evaluating/developing/improving novel software apps
to analyze
data obtained after scanning gels (protein, DNA, RNA).
The basic idea is to apply various sophisticated statistical tools to
evaluate relationships
between electrophoretic patterns (bands for 1D/spots for 2D) obtained with
various
samples.
The practical outcome is to provide a user friendly Windows App integrated
with pre-
existing image analysis software packages that accomplish more standard
tasks
(delimiting bands, positions, densitometry, integration, etc).
I am particularly interested in genetic data (genetic typing, pedigree
analyses, PCR and
RFLP experiments).
If you are in the habit or need of scanning/digitizing your gels, and are
then faced with the
task of comparing samples, I would very much be interested in analyzing a
set of your
data. The acceptable input matrix formats are ASCII , Excel or dBase.
What may be in for you is the possibility to become a bona fide beta tester
and end up
receiving free software that may be very useful for your work.
Thank you for your help.
