We have developed and refined a system for quantitative computer analysis of two-dimensional polyacrylamide gel electrophoretograms. The system, named Elsie 4, is based on one described by Vo et al. (Anal. Biochem. 112, 258 (1981]. It is highly automated. Elsie 4 can find, and measure the intensity of, almost any spot resolvable on two-dimensional gels, including spots visible only as shoulders off larger spots and spots so close together that there is no "valley" between them. It can automatically match the spot patterns of different gels, potentially without the need for a user to provide landmark matches. The matches between paired gels let us follow the synthesis of any spot through a set of gels. Information about a group of matched spots can be obtained by referring to any spot in the group. There is generally no need for a standard or reference gel. Data for two experiments can be combined and compared by matching any gel in one experiment with any gel in the other. There are ways to automatically find possible mismatches in sets of gels. Scans and the results of the analysis can be shown on an image displayer. The programs use function libraries; this helps ensure consistency and increase portability. The programs and functions can be linked together in many ways; this lets users build custom programs for analysis of specific experiments.
