Computer based analysis of electrophorsis gel images

Abstract

Determining the genetic diversity between individuals is one of the most important fields in biology. DNA marker systems have been used in diversity studies where markers are visualized on electrophoresis gel images. Nowadays analyzers convert electrophoresis gel images into (0/1) matrices manually, which causes human errors. Our project aims to overcome these errors by designing a software that converts electrophoresis gel images into (0/1) matrices with minimum errors
