1 SeqMan NGen does not support ABI files without base calls.

2 Should have an associated .qual file with the same file name and a .qual extension. The .qual file must be in the same folder with the sequence file in order for the quality scores to be used.


SeqMan NGen supports the export of data in .sqd, .ace, .sam, .bam, and .fas formats and can generate reports in .txt format.
