The FinchTV utility for viewing chromatogram files is a stand-alone application researchers use to easily view and edit their sequencing data with dynamic interactivity.

The utility supports both .ab1 and .scf chromat file formats and operates on Mac OS X, Windows, Linux, and Solaris operating systems, making it the most flexible trace viewer available today.

FinchTV is a software that allows you print your trace with custom scale settings.

Unique to FinchTV is its ability to display the entire trace in a multi-pane view with or without the base sequence (A, C, T or G), the associated quality values and the sequence positions.

Here are some key features of "FinchTV":

· Reads chromatogram files in the most popular chromat formats.
· Displays quality values above the trace (when available).
· Displays the base sequence in multi-color above the trace along with their positions in the sequence.
· Allows adjustment of vertical and horizontal scales
· Allows display of the chromatogram trace as a single pane or in a wrapped view.
· Allows the user to view the DNA sequence in the Chromatogram Info dialog and additional chromatogram data details when available.
· Provides users with the ability to print out their trace all on one page or with a set number of panels per page.
· Gives the option of exporting the DNA sequence to a FASTA formatted text file.
· Allows opening of files via drag and drop.
