I have recently processed several hundred histograms with 'cylchred'.
Some of these have been BrdU +ve/-ve fractions following pulse
labelling. Many of these fit the description above and others have
been more extreme. The program will attempt to find G0/1 G2/M
positions, if you are not happy with these positions values can be
called back from the previous histogram or inserted manually.
Calculation of phases is then based on Watson et al Cytometry 8 1-8
which handles synchronised populations as well as more conventional
distributions.
Version 1.0.5 uses wildcards for easy selection of groups of files
and produces a textfile of results for transferring into
spreadsheets. It is PC based but I have seen it operating on a Mac
with SoftWindows.
