<div class="markdown_content"><p>ABE Version 1.0 (stable), released today on sourceforge.net, is the first public release of ABE, a bioassay analysis program for cell biologists and molecular biologists working in biotechnology companies or academic laboratories.</p> <p>ABE visualizes and analyzes the data from biossay experiments such as cell proliferation assays, and allows the user to model the experimental data using either polynomials, or a more specific sigmoidal dose-response model.</p> <p>ABE reads the experimental data in XML format, constructs mathematical models of the data and allows the user to graphically compare the observed and modeled data. A complete record of the analysis is kept in a comprehensive activity log and any generated graphs can be saved in PostScript (TM) format, allowing the user to include detailed and accurate records of the analysis as part of his/her laboratory notes.</p> <p>Since many excellent data-graphing packages already exist, the graph options in ABE were deliberately kept to a minimum to keep the code simple and to focus on the mathematical part of the analysis.ABE does however allow the user to export a data table containing a summary of the analysis into programs such as Microsoft Excel (TM) for further analysis, visualization and archiving.</p> <p>The ABE homepage can be found at <a href="http://abe-module.sourceforge.net">http://abe-module.sourceforge.net</a></p></div>
