Chromas Technelysium Pty Ltd

Chromas is a free trace viewer designed for simple DNA sequencing projects that do not require assembly of multiple sequences. It enables the visualization and analysis of chromatograms generated by various DNA sequencers, providing researchers with essential tools for sequence examination and processing.

Key Features:

• Opens .ab1 chromatogram files from Applied Biosystems sequencers and supports SCF and ZTR formats from other sequencers or databases.
• Automatically removes low-quality sequences and vector segments when quality data is available.
• Exports sequences in multiple formats, including FASTA, FASTQ, EMBL, GenBank, and GCG, for seamless integration with other bioinformatics tools.
• Enhances .ab1 files using the PeakTrace RP component to improve peak readability and extract higher-quality bases.
• Facilitates batch processing for format conversion, sequence export, printing, and raw data extraction, streamlining workflows for large-scale projects.

Audience & Benefit: Ideal for researchers, students, and professionals in molecular biology or genetics who need a straightforward tool for DNA sequencing analysis. Chromas empowers users to efficiently view, analyze, and process chromatograms without the complexity of assembly tools, making it an essential resource for focused DNA sequencing studies. It can be installed via winget for easy setup on supported systems.
