Hybsweeper 02 – Detect High-density Plate Gridding Coordinates

Hybsweeper 02

:: DESCRIPTION

 Hybsweeper was developed to handle images of high-density gridding patterns which were matched to clones housed in microtiter dishes. As high-throughput methodologies contribute to large archives of stored clone resources, methods need to be available for convenient processing of hybridization information for the retrieval of the clones needed for research endeavors. A Java software package, Hybsweeper, was developed to select clone identities from autoradiographs which were generated through simple probing methods, overgo probe hybridizations, and isolation of unique clones from saturation hybridization.

SlideMap 1.2.1 – Create a Row/Column to Plate/Well Map of a Microarray Slide

SlideMap 1.2.1

:: DESCRIPTION

SlideMap.pm is a Perl module used to create a row/column to plate/well map of a microarray slide. It does not as yet incorporate annotation data into the map, but simply creates the map object based on input parameters. The map is an ordered list of spots containing array_row, array_col, plate_alias, well. SlideMap currently supports 5 types of arrayers: IAS, MD, MD3, Lucidia, and Stanford. However, ‘generic’ arrayers can be used with this perl module. SlideMap provides methods for conversion of spots to wells and wells to spots.
