ChromaView plugin

The ChromaView plugin brings DNA chromatogram data viewing and editing capabilities into UGENE.

Currently supported chromatogram file formats are ABIF and SCF, if you want more - ask UGENE team.

To view a chromatogram, just open the interesting file in UGENE by standard means (e.g. drag&drop the file or press Ctrl+O shortcut to invoke "File/Open" menu item). The chromatogram viewer is automatically embedded into generic sequence view if chromatogram data is found, as on a screenshot below:

After zooming in more chromatograms details are available:

To edit the sequence data, right-click on the chromatogram view and select "Edit new sequence" item in a popup menu. The original DNA sequence is not allowed to be changed; however you can add and modify a new sequence stored in a separate file.

The sequence being edited is displayed right above the original one. Symbols can be changed by clicking on interesting value, modifications are shown in bold.
