Steve:
What do you mean by analyze the sequence? If you want to extract the
sequence from the trace file, you can use CHROMAS to view the trace data
and extract the sequence into the paste buffer for pasting into you program
of choice. You can get CHROMAS at
http://trishul.sci.gu.edu.au/~conor/chromas.html.
Alternatively, the Seqman module of Lasergene from DNASTAR will import ABI
trace files directly for contig assembly and also allows you to view the
chromatograph for editing in the assembly project. It is not freeware
though.
