Chromas

DNA sequencing software for viewing, editing and assembling sequence data

Visit Chromas

Technelysium has supplied software for DNA sequencing and analysis since the Chromas program was first released in 1996. The software is intended for projects that do not require large software packages costing thousands of dollars. Chromas is a free viewer and editor for chromatograms (traces) from automated Sanger sequencers, with format conversion options and batch processing. ChromasPro assembles sequence reads into contigs with a graphical contig editor displaying aligned chromatograms, and performs general sequence analysis such as restriction enzyme mapping, open-reading-frame searches, and BLAST submission.
