ABSTRACT
The collection and conversion of 4-color fluorescent genotyping data from capillary array electrophoresis microchip devices and its conversion to a format easily and rapidly analyzed by Genetic Profiler genotyping software is presented. Microchip fluorescence intensity data are acquired and stored as 4-color tab-delimited text. These files are converted to electrophoretic signal data (ESD) files using a utility program (TEXT-to-ESD) written in C. TEXT-to-ESD generates an ESD file by converting text data to binary data and then appending a 632-byte ESD-file trailer. Up to 96 ESD files are then assembled into a run folder and imported into Genetic Profiler, where data are reduced to 4-color electropherograms and analyzed. In this manner, DNA fragment sizing data acquired with our high-speed electrophoretic microchip devices can be rapidly analyzed using robust commercial software. Additionally, the conversion program allows sizing of data with Genetic Profiler that have been preprocessed using other third-party software, such as BaseFinder.
