An Open Source Protein Gel Documentation System for Proteome Analyses

Data organization and data mining represents one of the main challenges for modern high throughput
technologies in pharmaceutical chemistry and medical chemistry. The presented open source documentation
and analysis system provides an integrated solution (tutorial, setup protocol, sources, executables) aimed at
substituting the traditionally used lab-book. The data management solution provided incorporates detailed
information about the processing of the gels and the experimental conditions used and includes basic data
analysis facilities which can be easily extended. The sample database and User-Interface are available free
of charge under the GNU license from http://webber.physik.uni-freiburg.de/∼fallerd/tutorial.htm.
