**13.4 Analysis of raw sequences**

ABI files obtained through a genetic analyzer can be viewed and edited in the sequencing analysis software. After thorough checking of the quality of sequencing, the project file must be saved and exported in FASTA format. The edited sequences can be compared with NCBI or Genbank using the BLAST tool. The database can give results of the search revealing records that are he closest match in terms of sequence similarity [49].
