Here are some new publications that mention the use of PeakTrace in their methods sections. While most people using PeakTrace are unaware they are using it as it is being performed automatically for them by their DNA sequencing service provider, it is always good to see small-scale users making use of the free online version of PeakTrace.
Auto PeakTrace 6 RP Software Released
We have released Auto PeakTrace 6 RP. This is a major update to our PeakTrace RP software and offers a number of improvement 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 normalisation) can only be utilised via the Auto PeakTrace 6 RP. This major update is available from the Nucleics Downloads page and it is highly recommend that all users of PeakTrace RP upgrade to this version.

Auto PeakTrace RP 5.83 Released
Just a minor update to correct a rare bug with input or output folders that contain unicode characters (non-English letters). The automated system should inform you of the update, but if you want to install it manually then the updates (for both Windows and MacOS X) are available on the Nucleics Downloads page as usual.
Auto PeakTrace RP 5.82 Released
We have a released a minor update for Auto PeakTrace RP (5.82) that fixes a problem with slow network transfers. It is recommended that all users to upgrade to this version. It available through the automatic update system, but if you wish to install manually it is also available from our downloads page.
Auto PeakTrace RP 5.81 MacOSX Released
We have released the Mac OS X version of Auto PeakTrace RP 5.81. This is not a true port of Auto PeakTrace RP to the Mac OS X system, but simply a wine wrapper around the Windows version. While it works well, it will not look like a true Mac OS X program. It is available from our downloads page.
Auto PeakTrace RP 5.81 Released
Auto PeakTrace RP 5.81 has been released. Most of the changes with this release are on the server side and so will be available no matter which version of Auto PeakTrace RP you are using, however, we do recommend everyone update to this version as it offers increased robustness when used with slow or unreliable networks. The changes and improvements in this release are:
- Improved robustness when using slow or unreliable networks and/or remote shared drives.
- Bug fixes and help manual updates.
This update is available from the Nucleics downloads page. Auto PeakTrace RP should also notify you that an update is available for download.
Auto PeakTrace RP 5.70 Released
Auto PeakTrace RP 5.70 has been released. The list of changes and improvements in this release are:
- New Feature. Auto selection of the best first peak location.
- Improved fusing of traces containing large repeat regions.
- Improved trimming of low quality bases from trace ends.
- Improved basecalling of mixed signal traces.
- Improved detection of duplicate files in the input folder.
- Improved processing of mixed signal traces.
- Improved error messages.
- Bug fixes.
This update is available from the Nucleics downloads page. Auto PeakTrace RP should also notify you that an update is available for download.
Auto PeakTrace RP 5.61 Released
Auto PeakTrace RP 5.61 has been released. This release brings improvements to security, speed and the robustness of the data transfer process. The changes are:
- Trace files are now encrypted while being transfered to and from the remote PeakTrace server.
- Improved transfer speeds (~10%) due to improved compression of trace data.
- Great robustness to slow or intermittent network connections.
- Additional error messages.
- The usual bug fixes.
Auto PeakTrace RP 5.61 is available on the Nucleics downloads page and the automatic update will be activated soon.
Auto PeakTrace RP 5.60 Released
Auto PeakTrace RP 5.60 has been released for Windows and MacOS X. This is a major release that we suggest everyone use. The biggest change is that failed traces are now not counted towards your usage except in a few limited cases (see below). This means in practice that PeakTrace RP is now 20% to 50% cheaper depending on the number of traces that were are typically not improved (this varies from site to site), making PeakTrace RP an even better deal than before. If you were previously sorting your trace files by hand to avoid uploading files that were likely to not be improved by PeakTrace then you can stop doing this and just process all your traces without wasting units. You can download the new version from our downloads page.
The complete list of changes with this version are:
- New Feature. Failed traces are now not charged. The exceptions are:
- Traces below the good base improvement threshold where the good base improvement threshold is set to a value higher than -10. If using the default value of -20 then you will not be charged.
- Traces that can’t be output because the output folder is unwritable.
- New Feature. Support added for the following run conditions:
- ABI 3730 Low Voltage POP7 BigDye 3.1
- ABI Limits are only updated for successful traces
- Improved basecalling and trace trimming.
- The usual bug fixes and enhancements.
