I would argue that there is quite a bit of Mac software out there. I just
finished hosting booths at the ASM and ASBMB meetings, and most of the
bigger vendors there were supporting Mac software. These included us
(Bio-Rad), Beckton-Dickenson, Rainin, etc.
Some of the software I saw wer for:
- Gel imaging and quantitation
- RFLP/Fingerprinting/Strain typing
- 2D analysis
- Sequence calling and analysis
- Microplate analysis
- PCR primer design
- Chromatography
Other software I've seen elsewhere include Filemaker-based strain
cataloging, reference management, lab management, and National
Diagnostics' data acquisition software and hardware.
So as not to make this a religious statement, I'll also say that I saw PC
versions of most this stuff too (but not always).
