The Growth Analysis Tool for High-throughput Optical Density Experiments (GATHODE) is a software package for analysing time series of optical density measurements that were recorded with the help of a plate reader. It allows to extract growth parameters such as maximal growth rate, lag-time and growth yield. The Chronological Life Span is defined as the time cells can survive in a non-dividing state. The Chronological life span Analysis Tool for High-throughput Optical Density Experiments (CATHODE) uses multiple output files of GATHODE to analyse this survival.
