This software was developed at the Biomedical Computer Laboratory of the Institute for Biomedical Computing at Washington University Schools of Medicine and of Engineering and Applied Science, St. Louis, Missouri. The lane-detection, band-detection, and spatial-normalization software was developed by Heather A. Drury with invaluable ideas and suggestions from David G. Politte. The graphical-user-interface software was developed by Heather A. Drury and Kenneth W. Clark with John M. Feser and Andrew Loth. General feedback and advice for Version 1.0 were kindly provided by the DNA-Imaging Working Group comprised of: Jerome R. Cox, Helen Donis-Keller, Russell E. Hermes, Will D. Gillette, Brigid K. McCauley, Maynard V. Olson, and Lewis J. Thomas, Jr. The additional features for Version 2.0 were suggested by Todd Steinbrueck and Cynthia A. Helms. Special thanks go to Todd Steinbrueck for his review of earlier editions of this User's Guide.
