The popular way to view DNA sequence traces on Linux, Mac OS X, Windows, and Solaris. FinchTV started as the only chromatogram viewer that can display an entire trace in a scalable multipane view. It continues to lead with raw
data views, regular expression searching, and multi-platform support.

"FinchTV" features:

￭ View, edit, export, and print the reverse complement of the trace just as you can the forward orientation.
￭ View the raw unprocessed signal data from ABI files (not SCF) by invoking the "Raw Data" choice from the "View" menu.
￭ Selected bases or the entire sequence can be sent to your choice of 4 NCBI BLAST pages.
￭ Select a single base or range of bases and copy the base calls for use in another application.
￭ Allows changing base calls, inserting new bases and deleting bases.
￭ Commands allow you to change a range of bases to upper or lowercase, or convert them to N's or X's.
￭ Save your edits and share your file with other researchers.
￭ Search for a given sequence in the base calls of the trace (accepts regular expressions)
￭ Open SCF, ABI and gzipped chromatogram files.
￭ View in standard or wrapped mode.
￭ Scale the trace horizontally and vertically.
￭ Use different options for printing your trace.
￭ Export DNA sequence to FASTA text file.
￭ Open files by dropping the icon onto FinchTV window.
￭ Show and hide base calls, base numbers and quality values.
￭ View Chromatogram Info details.
￭ FinchTV also offers a direct link to the Geospiza website where you can access help documentation.
