PolyPhred is a program that compares fluorescence-based sequences across traces obtained from different individuals to identify heterozygous sites for single nucleotide substitutions. PolyPhred is not a stand alone application. PolyPhred's functions are integrated with the use of three other programs: Phred (Brent Ewing and Phil Green)\, Phrap (Phil Green)\, and Consed (David Gordon and Phil Green). PolyPhred identifies potential heterozygotes using the base calls and peak information provided by Phred and the sequence alignments provided by Phrap. Potential heterozygotes identified by PolyPhred are marked for rapid inspection using the Consed tool. (http://droog.gs.washington.edu/polyphred/ )
