SnapGene

SnapGene is the easiest way to plan, visualize, and document your everyday molecular biology procedures. Customize the display of enzyme sites, features, primers, ORFs, DNA colors, and more. The map can be in a circular or linear format.

Take advantage of SnapGene’s efficient data handling to scan large DNA sequences with thousands of annotated features. Make insertions, deletions, replacements, and case changes. When a sequence is copied and pasted, features are automatically transferred. Annotate common features automatically, or annotate novel features manually.

Find common features in your DNA sequence using SnapGene’s extensive database. Additional features of your choosing can be added to a custom database.

It provides elegant, information-rich windows for simulating a variety of common cloning and PCR methods. Highlight unique restriction sites in bold font, or choose the automatically defined Unique Cutters or Unique 6+ Cutters enzyme set.

Use your own primers, or ask the app to design primers automatically. The product file stores the template and primers in its history. Assemble up to eight fragments. Select the fragments to be joined and their orientations, and Snap Gene will design primers.

Use a Sequence view to see at a glance whether two translated features are in the frame. If so, the translations are linked on the same line. If not, the translations are on separate lines. Use the powerful alignment tool to check whether an actual construct matches the simulated construct.

It automatically records operations to create a graphical history, and stores the ancestor constructs in the final file. Use the familiar, secure operating system of your computer to store and organize your Snap Gene files.

Export a sequence to GenBank or FASTA format. Export a map or simulated agarose gel to common image formats. Convert a sequence, map, or gel image to standard formats for use with other software.

The open exchange of information is crucial, so SnapGene and SnapGene Viewer provide options for reading and exporting common file formats.
