TWO DIMENSIONAL GEL ELECTROPHORESIS WORKSTATION

提出了一种用于二维凝胶计算机分析的工作站。 廉价而强大的微型计算机的出现，如Digital microVAX， 启用仅在昂贵的迷你和 大型机将迁移到价格低廉的单用户 工作站。全面的二维凝胶分析和实验室管理 该系统将很快在蛋白质数据库公司(PDI)的基础上运行 基于冷泉港实验室开发的技术。一个子集 将与适当的硬件集成，以提供 单用户低成本工作站。 用户将能够分析凝胶并开发他们自己的蛋白质数据库 或者将他们的凝胶与从PDI授权的专有数据库进行比较。数据可能 最初通过磁性介质在工作站之间轻松传输，并且 稍后通过通信链路。大量的图形设施将 使研究人员能够轻松查看凝胶中的数据 理解的形式。工作站的人机界面将非常简单 学到足够强大的能力来操作数据和图像。

A workstation for computer analysis of Two Dimensional gels is proposed. The advent of cheap, powerful microcomputers, such as the Digital microVAX, enables facilities that have only been available on costly mini and mainframe computers to be migrated to inexpensive single-user workstations. A comprehensive 2D Gel analysis and laboratory management system will shortly be operational at Protein Databases, Inc. (PDI) based upon the technology developed at Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory. A subset of this system will be integrated with appropriate hardware to provide a single-user low cost workstation. Users will be able to analyze gels and develop their own protein databases or compare their gels to proprietary databases licensed from PDI. Data may be easily transferred between workstations initially by magnetic media and later via a communications link. Extensive graphics facilities will be provided enabling researchers to view data from gels in an easily understood form. The human interface to the workstation will be simple to learn yet powerful enough to manipulate data and images.
