Fellow cyclists,

Version 2 of my cell cycle analysis package (Cylchred) has been placed on 
CytonetUK       http://www.uwcm.cf.ac.uk/uwcm/hg/hoy

As for version 1,  it is based on Jim Watson's Pragmatic Approach :
Watson et al Cytometry 8 1-8 (1987)

This version reads FCS single parameter binary files  produced by 
WinMDI which I use to prepare DNA histograms (selecting 
sub-populations, eliminating doublets etc.)
These histograms are saved from WinMDI using SAVE AS
 with the FCS binary  box  checked.

Retaining the FCS format allows unwanted files (non FCS single parameter 
binary)  to be ignored during wildcard searches. These  caused 
some problems with version 1.

Also, some of the text information that WinMDI passes 
on from the source file to the FCS histogram file is extracted
 and integrated into the cell  cycle analysis. 
Information such as filename, parameter, aquisition 
date & sample ID is now retained along with the results.

The results are stored as an ASCII text file which can be read by Excel.
 
Further details are given in

Alice - what do you think of  changing the name to CylchRED?

All comments welcome.

Terry.
