# Exporting a FASTA Sequence

Back | Contents | Next

FinchTV can export a FASTA sequence based on the chromatogram file.

In FinchTV 1.3, and above, the reverse complement of a sequence can also be exported.

To export a FASTA file of the sequence, select File > Export > DNA sequence: FASTA from the menu. You will be prompted for a location to save the file

If the reverse compliment of the sequence is being displayed, the FASTA sequence will be exported as its reverse compliment.

Some sequence analysis packages may require a different extension on your FASTA files in order to read them in properly. For DNAStar, use .fas as your extension. For Sequencher, use .txt.
