  1. Four free gel analysis software were compared in terms of their functions, namely lane detection, ability to detect curved lanes, ability to correct smile/frown effect, band detection and construction of dendrogram.
  2. * GelJ can perform curved lane detection using curvilinear models, e.g, cubic spline to assist user to manually draw lane boundaries.
