Used approach: This is a 'Gel - Membrane / Western Blot' project.
The coverage between each Gel image and Western Blot image is computed with this formula:
Coverage (COV2) = |
No. spots Western Blot Image | * 100% |
No. spots Total Protein Image + No. unmatched spots Western Blot Image |
The coverage among the same kind of image (Gel, Western Blot) is computed with this formula:
Coverage (COV1) = |
No. matched spots | * 100% |
No. matched spots + No. unmatched spots Image 1 + No. unmatched spots Image 2 |
Direct Warped Pairs (Warp Relations)
These image pairs have been warped to eliminate gel distortions.

Analysis Procedure
- The project may contain up to 9 groups (plus fused image group and internal standard group), further groups will be ignored.
- Each group may contain up to 6 images, further images will be ignored.
- Image names are not longer than 35 characters, gel numbers not longer than 2 characters.
- The group containing fused images is named 'Fused Images'.
- A group called 'Internal Standard' will be ignored as this group is assumed to contain just internal standard images.
- Spot transfer to all images must be done from the same fused image.
Experiment Structure
Westernblots with multi fluorescence, maximal 3 Westernblot dyes. Total-Protein group must be the first group in the project.
Image pairs:
- each Total Protein Image with one Westernblot Dye N (N: 1...3)
images in all groups must be sorted the same way to enable an appropriate assignment of each western blot image to the respective total protein image
- all possible pairs within each group
- Special coverage formula for image pairs Total Protein Image - Westernblot Dye
Example:
COV1 = Coverage formula for Gel - Gel approach
Coverage (COV1) = |
No. matched spots | * 100% |
No. matched spots + No. unmatched spots Image 1 + No. unmatched spots Image 2 |
COV2 = Coverage formula for Total Protein - Western Blot approach:
Coverage (COV2) = |
No. spots Western Blot Image | * 100% |
No. spots Total Protein Image + No. unmatched spots Western Blot Image |
- A number of 1 (k) group 'Total Protein' and 3 (l) groups with 'Westernblot Dyes' with 6 (m) images each results in 6*3+4*(6*6-6)/2=78 image pairs, i.e. the same number of report pages, general: m*l+(k+l)*(m*m-m)/2.

Report Content
- Section 'Sample to Gel Assignment':
- The section shows a table summarizing the sample to gel assignment used in this Blotting Report.
- Section 'Experimental Setup':
- The coverage formulas are automatically applied.
- Section 'Fused Images from Group 'Fused Images'':
- On one page a maximum of 6 fused images is described (configurable).
- Section 'Transferred Spot Pattern':
- The number of spots after spot editing is the sum of originally detected spots and manually added spots.
- The number of transferred spots is the difference between spots after spot editing and canceled spots.
- Section 'Fused Image 'Fused Image using Max Intensity at 01_11_2016 11_35_38_845'':
- The image shows all spots and spot edit markers (if available).
- Canceled spots are shown with dotted spot boundaries.
- Section 'Image Pairs':
- Includes data for the interesting image pairs for which the 'Coverage' table includes values.
- Images show spot boundaries for interesting spots only, not for canceled spots.
- Matched Spots are shown in blue, unmatched in green or red, respectively.
- Section 'Coverage Table':
- Coverage is calculated based on the formula as shown in the examples above.
- Coverage table is split after a maximum of 2 leading columns and 14 value columns and/or 2 leading rows and 40 value rows (configurable).
- Groups will not be split.
- To reduce the width of coverage tables a legend can be introduced.
- Section 'Results':
- 'Reproducibility for Image Pairs in Groups' (1) and 'Statistics on Relative Coverage for Group Pairs' (2) are always based on the respective existing coverage values.
- 'Mean' is the mean of coverage value of each image pair
- 'RSD' (relative standard deviation) is the 'corrected sample standard deviation' (as defined in https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Standard_deviation), expressed in %.
- 'N' is the number of image pairs (1) or the number of replicates (2)
