Retrogen, Inc. delivers both the simple text files and the electropherogram files of the completed DNA sequences. Once received, the electropherogram files can be opened using either Chromas (for PCs), Edit View (for Macs), FinchTV (for PCs, Macs, and Linux) or BioEdit (for PCs) sequence analysis software. All of these applications can be downloaded for free from the links as indicated below. The simple text files of the sequences can be opened using Microsoft Word.

The fastest and the most convenient way for us to deliver the sequence files is via E-Mail in Bin Hex format. Eudora E-Mail software is recommended for receiving the sequence files and can be downloaded for free. In general, Unix computers are not very successful in receiving E-Mail attachments and Hotmail and Yahoo E-Mail accounts do not have enough storage capacity to receive the large sequence files.
