Abstract:
:SCORE, a program for computer-assisted scoring of Southern blots of clone DNA, retains the use of expert human judgment while taking over much of the drudgery of the scoring task. The primary functions of the program are to help make an aligned overlay of the fluorescence gel image and the autoradiogram blot image, to keep track of band and lane locations and to store the resulting data directly into a database. Use of SCORE has resulted in greatly increased efficiency and accuracy.
