Comments

BioEdit is free and provides many basic functions for protein and nucleic sequence editing, alignment, manipulation and analysis. The software can still be downloaded but it is no longer maintained. If you only need a trace viewer or want to do basic editing other free software options are better because they have more trimming options and display the quality values (phred scores). However, if you are looking for a free alignment program BioEdit might be right for you.
