thumb|The sequencing module
The sequencing module allows to view the data recorded by a sequence analyser. The data is loaded by importing the appropriate .abi/.ab1 file.
Display
The data is displayed in the main sequence window. The text window on the upper right shows data stored in the file. On the left side, the following display options for the sequence are available:
Help linesGray vertial lines down from each sequence letter to the baseline. These can help to identify which letter belongs to which peakInvert&complementShows the sequencing complement/inverted. Useful for ../Alignments/Scale heightSets the height of the graphic display [unit in text lines]Scale widthSets the graphical points per data value. Default is 2; 1 would mean one pixel width per data pointZoomSets the zoom factor for the data; useful to see small peaks

Caveats
Editing works in overwrite-mode only
Saving will only store the sequence in the database, not the sequencer data (the peaks), due to memory concerns.
