The whole system is written under the Mathematica programming language. Mathematica 4.1 or higher must be installed on the computer (or network) were DNA-Match shall be used.

Mathematica and DNA-Match run under various computer operating systems (Windows, Mac-OS, Linux and Unix). DNA-Match not only allows the assignment (allele calling) but also includes a powerful statistical analysis tool to interpret the measured e.g. multiplex microsatellite data. All data can be exported to other programmes or databases using a general .csv format which can easily be adjusted.

Most of the processing can be automated but any step can also be done manually. Besides an automatic quality control the graphical interface visualizes all measured data and is an excellent tool for the operator.
