Features

Some of the assembly core features are:
Automatic sequence assembly from ABI, SCF, FASTA and SEQ files with only 3 clicks. Different file types can be mixed together.
Batch assembly. Thousand of contigs can be assembled at once
Assemble to reference
Automatic cleaning (trimming) of the bad ends of chromatograms, based on the Quality Values (QV). The resolution of the trimming engine can be fully adjusted by the user; this operation saves significant
time, as manual ‘cleaning’ of
the trace sequences is not needed any more.
Synchronized display between chromatograms and contig, which makes the correction of ambiguous bases much faster and easier.
Proprietary algorithm for correction of the ambiguous bases. The rate of correct suggestions recorded during testing was more than 95%. This means that the user must only confirm
the software’s suggestions, resulting in a reduction of the overall processing
time.
A rapid navigation between mismatches. With just one click you can jump to the next mismatch.
Chromatogram viewer and editor (ABI and SCF).
Project map
Easy to use interface: the user can make a contig with only 3 mouse clicks.
Automatically save the contig to disk.
Automatic primer detection and vector removal.
Fast assembly algorithm
Conversion between several file formats
Embedded reverse complement tool
Other features:
BEST price on the market and significant discount when several licenses are ordered. Please see the Prices page for more details
Intelligent, ergonomic, easy to use interface. Just drag and drop your files, then press the 'Start' button and the contig is done. The user has full control over the graphic user interface (GUI) and the sounds.
Low
resource requirement: it can run even on very old systems. Incredibly small size: The full package has about 2MB and it includes few SCF samples, sounds, skins.
100% safe. DNA Baser will never alter your chromatogram files (results are saved in separate files) and it will never harm your computer by installing files in your operating system / registry. It does not
use abusing/dangerous technologies like DCOM, Dot Net, DLLs, Java, ActiveX, MFC, VBR, scripts.
Auto updating. The program automatically checks and download the updates from the Internet. Updates are free.

* We optimized DNA Baser v2.9 for Windows Vista and it seems to work but the tests are not completed yet so DNA Baser is not offcially supported on Vista.
The reason of the incompatibility lay not in our software but in Windows Vista, which is very different from previous operating systems produced by Microsoft. We will make DNA Baser compatible with Windows Vista in the near future. |
