Browser-based viewer for Sanger sequencing chromatograms in AB1/ABIF and SCF format, and for the .srd raw files of the Nanofor-05 capillary sequencer, converted to ABIF as they open. Shows raw and analysed traces, base calls (called or edited), per-base quality and the full ABIF directory, and puts two reads side by side with their tag tables aligned. A read aligns against a pasted or loaded reference, which reports identity, mismatches, indels and the ends that did not align, and flips the strand when the read is on the other one. End trimming (modified Mott or sliding window) has draggable handles, motif search is IUPAC-aware and finds primers, and QC metrics copy out as CSV. Drag on a trace to select a base range, then copy it as FASTA, zoom to it or export just that region. Exports the read as FASTA, FASTQ, .qual or ABIF and the chromatogram as a high-resolution PNG. Open files are kept as local sessions. Runs entirely in the browser — files are never uploaded.

Browser-based viewer that maps sequencing reads onto one short reference — an amplicon, gene or plasmid. Reads open as Sanger AB1/ABIF, SCF, FASTA, FASTQ or a SAM somebody else already mapped (gzipped files are unpacked in place); the reference as FASTA, GenBank or a read. Both read orientations are tried automatically. The pileup reports per-position depth, where reads disagree with the target, and the consensus — phred-weighted for capillary reads, which keep their chromatogram under the letters. An optional protein lane translates target and consensus side by side. Reads are placed by minimap2 compiled to WebAssembly, or by the built-in aligner. One read or the whole alignment saves as FASTA. Runs entirely in the browser — files are never uploaded.
