An (also known as a trace file) is the standard output format for Sanger DNA sequencing, containing the raw data, base calls, and the chromatogram (the visual "peaks" of the sequence). Scientists typically download these in a compressed ZIP archive when receiving batch results from a sequencing facility. 1. How to Download Your AB1 ZIP
: Select the specific run or order. Look for a link labeled "Download All Results" or "Download .zip" . This package usually includes the .ab1 trace files, .seq text files (FASTA format), and sometimes a .pdf report. 2. Opening and Viewing the Data Download AB1 zip
: Services like the EditCo ICE tool allow you to drag and drop your .zip archive directly for CRISPR knockout or knock-in analysis. 3. Key Analysis Tips An (also known as a trace file) is

You cannot view the raw chromatogram in a standard text editor. You need specialized software to interpret the visual peaks:
: Log into your account on the sequencing service’s website.
: Look for high, distinct peaks. Overlapping peaks (noise) or "flat" lines usually indicate a failed sequencing reaction or poor template quality.
