CutePeaks is a user-friendly cross platform Sanger Trace file viewer using the framework Qt5.
It can handle ABIF and FSA file and provide some improvement like sequence editing, regular expression pattern finder and export as vector image. Cutepeaks has been packages for Windows, Mac and Linux.
Despite the major use of Next Generation Sequencing, the Sanger method is still widely used in genetic labs as the gold standard to read target DNA sequences. Very few opensource software are available to explore Sanger trace data and most of labs staff still rely on proprietary software. Moreover, they are not always user-friendly and lack modern look and feel.
This is free and open source software.
