I have difficulty in converting my FASTA file into an ABI form in order to view the chromatogram of my sequence on Bioedit software. Anyone with a solution, please help.
The ABI chromatogram is the raw data you get from the sequencer. It shows all the ambiguities that possibly arise due to double peaks, missing peaks, compressions, etc. The FASTA file is the (usually computer-derived) most likely interpretation of such a chromatogram. It is therefore not possible to reconstitute the original chromatogram from the FASTA file, unless someone would like to generate a theoretically possible ABI chromatogram from a FASTA sequence file, but to what purpose ?
