FinchTV is a way to easily view and edit your DNA sequencer chromatogram data. It can display an entire trace in a scalable multi-pane view, and will also display quality values (when available). You can edit your base calls and save your data to a new chromatogram file for later use, select and copy sequence for use in other applications, and print your trace out to paper or a file. You also have the ability to search your sequence data using regular expressions or simple base queries, to view raw data from .ab1 files, and to reverse complement your sequence and traces.

Release Notes: The delete feature has been modified so now you can delete a range of bases, and so remove low quality regions. Quality values from ABI files created on 3100 or 3700 machines are now correctly displayed. ABI files containing a Mac header were previously corrupted on write if you had increased the number of bases during editing. Bugs causing malfunction of the reverse complement feature have been fixed.


Release Notes: You can now view the reverse complement of your trace data and DNA sequence. Also, for AB1 files, this release will display the raw data trace in a separate window.


Release Notes: The application could crash when editing older ABI files. Exporting sequences with deleted bases would result in underscores in the export file. The Linux application is packaged as a fully static build with no library dependencies.


Release Notes: A Solaris build is now available with this release. The new version provides full featured editing, allowing you to edit your base calls, insert or delete bases, change a range of base calls to N's or X's, or convert them to upper or lowercase. You can select and copy sequence data for use in other applications, and save your edits to a new chromatogram file for later use. The ability to search your sequence data using regular expressions or simple base queries has been added.
