4Peaks is a program that helps molecular biologists to visualize and edit their DNA sequence files. At last there is a decent solution for analyzing trace files on the Mac OS X platform, taking another step away from slow and non-native programs from the Mac OS 9 period.

Also, 4Peaks supports most commonly used sequence file formats right out of the box, you no longer have to convert them first using AppleScripts or other painstaking methods.

Here are some key features of "4Peaks":
Reading and writing of most common trace file formats, including ABI, SCF, CTR, ALF and ZTR.Direct access to both sequence and translation.
Ability to edit and correct the sequence.
Keep interesting parts only, or export your data as text or FASTA files.
Quickly search for a sequence or translation, navigate through your file by selecting pieces of either sequence or translation.

What's New:
The latest version of 4Peaks is now fully compliant with MacOSX 10.4 Tiger.
In addition, it now runs natively on Intel-based Macs.
Finally, we continued fixing a number of reported bugs.
Version 1.7.1 fixes a nasty copying bug.
