6. Local comparison of 2D gels using Flicker program

• The Flicker Java program takes advantage of the dynamic capabilities of Java and the Internet

• Sources of image data:
  1. Investigator's 2D gel images can be read from their local computer
  2. Federated Web databases contain gel images located at different remote sites

• Images may be enhanced to improve comparisons: spatial warping, grayscale enhancement

• Flicker paradigm can compare data from different data sources
