is there a kind of package like Bio::Trace::ABIF in python?

Question

[schagas]

I would like to align (map to reference), edit and export .ab1 files. However, if there isnt a such tool in python, any other language suggestion?

Thanks Mrs Dlakic! but these tools just reading or parsing ab1 files.

After you extract the sequence and quality scores from .ab1 files, alignments can be made using BioPython's own alignment module. Or use any other alignment module implemented in python.
