• Band model—Displays the modeling lines across the gel that are
generated by band matching, standards, or both. These lines are used to
compensate for gel distortion or smiling.
• Tandem repeats—The number of repeated base-pair units in a band that
has been analyzed using the VNTR Calculations function.
• Differential Display—If your band types have been normalized, this
displays trends in increasing or decreasing expression of a band type
across a gel based on its normalized quantity.
14.5.b Displaying Bands as Brackets or Lines
The options in the Style group of the Band Attributes dialog allow you to
choose how your defined bands are marked—as brackets surrounding each
band, or as a single line at the center of each band.
Lines are usually easier to read than brackets in images with closely packed
bands, while brackets are better for displaying the boundaries of bands.
14.6 Displaying Band Information
You can display and enter information about individual bands using the Band
Information dialog box. To open this dialog, select Band Information from the
Band menu and click on a band of interest.
An intensity profile of the band’s lane will be displayed, the selected band
will be highlighted, and the dialog box will be displayed.
