sequence reading software

[junkfish]

Hi
I have recently been assigned a large project in which I have to go though sections of exon sequence looking for snps. Currently I am simply viewing the sequence and comparing to word documents with pasted pubmed fasta sequence and using BLAST. Does anyone know of any good sequence reading software? I have looked at a program called vardetect but would like some input before I bother learning how to use it. Also does any one have any good resources for learn bioinformatic software? (I just finished stumbling though HAPLOVIEW and that took longer than it had to)

Hi Junkfish,

For a simple, basic and free sequence viewer you might consider the CLC Sequence Viewer available at:
