Semiquantitative densitometric measurement of protein microarrays

Setup

pip install proMAD

You can also install the latest version directly from GitHub.

pip install -U git+https://github.com/theia-dev/proMAD.git#egg=proMAD

Usage

ArrayAnalyse

from proMAD import ArrayAnalyse
aa = ArrayAnalyse('ARY022B')  # set array type
aa.load_collection('tests/cases/prepared', rotation=90)  # set input folder

aa.evaluate("A6")  # get result dictionary
aa.get_spot("A6")  # get underlying image data
aa.evaluate()  # get result dictionary for all spots

aa.report('report.xlsx')  # export the results

Cutter

• interactive

from proMAD import Cutter
c = Cutter()

c.load_collection('tests/cases/raw')  # set input folder
c.set_shape()  # ask for the shape
c.guess_positions()  # use a simple guess as a starting point
c.preview()  # display guess (uses the last loaded image as default)

c.set_positions()  # ask for refined cut positions
c.set_names()  # ask for names
c.preview()  # check in the preview
c.save_images('test/cases/formatted_image_folder')  # save to folder (will be created if it does not exist)

• direct

from proMAD import Cutter

c = Cutter()

c.load_collection('tests/cases/raw')  # set input folder
c.shape = (2, 3)
c.cut_positions = [[20, 225, 445], [40, 130, 217, 315]]
c.names = [['OL', 'ML', 'UL'], [None, 'MR', 'UR']]
c.preview()
c.save_images('test/cases/formatted_image_folder')  # save to folder (will be created if it does not exist)
