title: Rescuing corrupted gel files from Model 377 and 373 DNA Sequencers.
abstract: Automated DNA sequencing requires the intensive use of computers to handle the large amount of data taken. When a computer failure occurs and the data are no longer accessible, all the expense and effort that went into the sequencing experiment is lost. By using the data storage architecture of Macintosh computers to our advantage, we may prevent this loss in the case of automatic sequencers from PE Applied Biosystems. The software required to allow the experimenter to do this has been written and is available free of charge.
