SlideMap.pm =========== SlideMap is a utility module that generates a mapping between DNA spotted on 2-color cDNA spotted arrays and the source microtiter plates used to manufacture the arrays. This utility is generally useful to researchers designing and fabricating their own arrays. It is capable of generating the mappings for IAS, Molecular Dynamics (II and III), Lucidea and Stanford style arrayers. The module can also produce mappings for generic arrayers, but the GeneMachines arrayer is not currently supported. This arrayer will be supported in the next incremental version. In order to install SlideMap.pm, use standard methods to install this Perl module, i.e.: perl Makefile.PL make make test make install In addition, the test.pl script will run through a series of tests to verify that the module has been correctly installed. Documentation for this object-oriented module can be found in 'slidemap_documentation.txt'. J. White 2005
