Parsley

Parsley parses raw multiwell plate reader and related instrument export files to extract and convert assay data into analysis-ready formats for downstream processing.

Key Features:

• Generic parsing capability: Parses export files from over 10 different instruments and more than 53 distinct data types.
• Data structure agnostic extraction: Makes minimal assumptions about file structure and metadata to accommodate diverse file formats.
• User-guided data identification: Relies on user input to locate and extract relevant data segments from exported files.
• Multiwell plate reader data conversion: Converts raw plate reader outputs into formats suitable for downstream analysis.

Scientific Applications:

• Plate reader data preprocessing: Converts raw multiwell plate reader outputs into analysis-ready formats for downstream processing.
• Pipeline integration: Produces standardized data suitable for incorporation into data-processing pipelines for experimental results.

Methodology:

Parses exported files by making minimal assumptions about file structure and metadata and uses a user-guided process to identify and extract relevant data segments from over 10 instrument formats covering more than 53 distinct data types.
