Restriction fragment mapping Peptide mapping Protein, RNA, and DNA fragment identification and sizing No need to put a ruler in your gel pictures What are the molecular weights of those bands?
Forget about graph paper - now you can use GELS™3.0! Automatic Marker Entry!
GELS 3.0 is an amazing time saving innovation - simply tape a photo or autoradiogram of your gel to your Macintosh screen and the program prompts you to click in your marker bands using the mouse and cursor! Use the Markers menu to select any of the commonly used DNA and protein marker sets and the program will automatically prompt you to enter each band in the set by clicking on them, or you can select Other Markers and enter your own. Band Input
Click on your experimental bands lane by lane. Each time a band is clicked, its Molecular Weight is calculated automatically, based on the markers you entered, and instantly displayed, along with the total Molecular weight of all bands in that lane. Simultaneously, GELS 3.0 displays a mock gel on the screen. Data Output
Select Preview Bands and GELS 3.0 scales your data to produce a clear full-screen image of the mock gel. Select Preview Sizes and each band in the mock gel is replaced by the text of its Molecular Weight! Print Bands and Print Sizes optimize the output for your printer and produce beautiful data for your notebook or group meeting discussions. Merging Data
The merge Data command lets you compare experiments performed on separate gels, with separate size markers, or a small photo of a gel with a life-sized autoradiogram of that same gel, side by side, so that bands can be identified easily. Editing Data
Full Cut-and-Paste editing of the bands and lanes in the mock gel is supported so that you can experiment with possible doublets and faint bands until a logical consistent restriction map emerges.
If nucleic acids are not your favorite molecules, GELS 3.0 is just as useful for dealing with proteins, carbohydrates, or any other molecules you run through a sizing gel. 50 lanes of information can be stored at once (with 50 bands per lane). It is difficult to list all the features of Gels 3.0, but easy to use them. Full on-line help and documentation are provided (though seldom needed!)
