title: GELANAL, a personal computer-program to compare protein patterns on two-dimensional polyacrylamide gels.
abstract: Comparing and analyzing a series of two-dimensional gels by hand is troublesome and subjective. So far a number of systems for automatic analysis have been developed on mainly mainframe computers, using complex algorithms. This paper presents an inexpensive system, based on a simple Pascal program, to compare individual spots on two-dimensional gels using an IBM or compatible personal computer in a qualitative way. The accuracy of the method is demonstrated by comparing two patterns of the same extract from different runs.
