We have released Auto PeakTrace 6 RP. This is a major update to our PeakTrace RP software and offers a number of improvements and new features as well as the usual improvements and fixes. The full list of changes are.
- New Feature. Clean baseline.
- New Feature. Extra normalization.
- Parallel installation of Auto PeakTrace 6 RP with Auto PeakTrace RP.
- Improved handling of capillaries that run slower than expected.
- Improved signal to noise determination.
- Improved trimming of noise level data from traces.
- Improved detection of failed traces.
- Improved basecalling of traces without KB quality scores.
- Improved basecalling of short traces.
- Improved q average trim.
- Additional error messages to help identify the cause of problems.
- Updated visual design and help manual.
- Bug fixes.
Many of these changes will be automatically applied to users of previous versions of Auto PeakTrace RP as they are controlled by the remote server software, however the two new features (clean baseline and extra normalization) can only be utilized via the Auto PeakTrace 6 RP. This major update is available from the Nucleics Downloads page and it is highly recommended that all users of PeakTrace RP upgrade to this version.
