Looking For Tools That Support Visual Comparisons Of Trace Files

What tools are available for visualising trace files in such a way that I can compare traces between a forward and a reverse read or subtract traces to see the differences.

assembly

Like Sanger read traces? Or what kind of traces?

You can use FinchTV. It's a free application from Geospiza. http://www.geospiza.com/Products/finchtv.shtml

I don't think it will do subtraction, but SeqTrace may be worth a look. It will do forward and reverse read comparisons. Python and GPL'ed software.

If your institution has a license, CLC Bio can do this (and you can get a demo license either way):
