FinchTV Description

FinchTV - Trace viewer for viewing and editing DNA sequencing .ab1 and .scf chromatogram files. 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 rawdata views, regular expression searching, and multi-platform support.Main features of FinchTV: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. What's New in This Release: Allows you to print with custom scaling. Added the ability to read files from the Finch Server and check edits back in. Save your edited Finch Server data to your desktop as SCF files. Displays vector masking and quality trimming from Finch Server files on the screen and in printouts, and allows you to export bases annotated in this way as Ns or Xs in your FASTA file. Installers on Windows and Macintosh are provided so that the application in placed in the appropriate location (and is registered and put in the Start menu on Windows). Bug Fixes: Dates from AB1 format files were stored and displayed incorrectly. Single comments from SCF files were not read properly. Fixed OS X 10.4 (Tiger) GUI problems. On Windows XP with Service Pack 2, a security warning is no longer displayed when FinchTV is launched. Some performance problems with moving your selection with the arrow key have been solved.
