What is an abi file and how do I open an abi file?
Genetic researchers and scientists use DNA sequencing and DNA analysis devices or machines that can be connected to computers running on compatible OS environments. Most of these devices can produce digital data which can be entered into applications designed to organize these pieces of raw data for further analysis. Some of these applications include the Geospiza FinchTV application for Microsoft Windows-based systems and Mac platforms, the Technelysium Chromas Lite or ChromasPro software and the CubicDesign DNA Baser application among other DNA sequence analysis programs. Most of these applications, particularly ones mentioned here, use files appended with the .api extension. These ABI files are used as output files and also as data files referenced by the application upon user request. The content of these ABI files are the pieces of raw data generated in digital format (in the ABI format) by associated genetic sequencing and analysis machines. Electropherogram files may also be in the ABI format, and DNA trace files generated by these associated machines are usually saved and appended with the .abi extension.
