Sequence trace files may be accessed via FTP from our Linux server memcore1 . Our mini 377 sequencer FAQ may be useful only for new operators of the ABI 377 systems. DNA sequencing request form can be printed out from this link . The overall accuracy depends in part on how clearly the samples are labeled. Please take back leftover samples when picking up sequencing results.
Turnaround time is normally within three to five days.
The ABI 377 system generates two data files. Upon the completion of sequencing, a color printout of the chromatogram and the corresponding nucleotide sequence for each sequencing reaction is made available to the investigator as per specific instructions in the original sequencing request form. For investigators who are interested to have a closer view of the chromatogram, there are free software to help with editing. Chromas is a Windows shareware application which displays and prints chromatogram files from ABI automated DNA sequencers. Chromas allows basecall editing and exporting of the sequence to a text file.
