Hi we are also looking for the same kind of software. If you hear of a
source, we would appreciate you sending us the information.
Thanks Bobby Marsh

Here is the info you requested: 1. UC Berkley Image Data Base: codename ImageQuery This software package has been developed at UC Berkeley to bring order into a huge archeological slide collection. We at the LBL Human Genome Center have adapted this system to be used with gel images and autoradiograms and the like. We added software to handle and analyze those images. ImageQuery runs on a UNIX workstation (SUN 4), with color monitor, the implementation we use runs under the X11R4 windowing system, but a previous version ran under SunView. The data are stored in a database which is either a flatfile, a Sybase or Ingres relational database on a UNIX file server (SUN 4). 2. Chromosome Information System: codename CIS CIS is a package to store and retrieve many kinds of maps: genetic, physical, ... It allows you to pose questions to the database by defining a region on a picture of a chromosome. The maps are displayed in graphical form with MacDraw like capabilities for editing and manipulation of the data. CIS like ImageQuery has 2 main parts: a user interface front end and a database backend. The current implementation of the UI runs with SuperCard on a MacIntosh (the faster the better). The back end is a Sybase relational database management system on a UNIX file server (SUN 4).
