Abstract: A computerized method for analyzing results of an electrophoresis gel test having a plurality of lanes is disclosed. The results include a reference lane and at least one sample lane. Each lane has one or more bands located throughout the lane. The method comprises four steps. The first step digitizes the results of the electrophoresis gel test into a corresponding compute-readable format. The second step detects the location of each band within each lane based on the computer-readable format of the results. The third step determines a characteristic based on the location of each band and the length of a segment corresponding to the band. The fourth step compares the location of each band within each sample line with the characteristic as applied to a predetermined profile to determine if any sample lane matches the profile.
