SnapGene Review
SnapGene is an application software program designed for molecular biologists and researchers that facilitates everyday DNA cloning, sequencing, and PCR procedures. It features an intuitive, clear interface that offers unparalleled visibility into your work, simplifying complex tasks and providing more functionality.
Easily visualize and annotate DNA sequences and DNA maps using simple, drag-and-drop tools. Customizable annotation styles let you highlight common features and mark coding sequences, restriction sites, open reading frames (ORFs), and other DNA elements. Easily compare sequences and maps, identify ORFs, design primers for PCR, sequencing, mutagenesis or PCR-based site identification, and validate your constructs with simulated agarose gel electrophoresis.
Use the built-in graphical sequence history to view every plasmid edit and cloning procedure that led to your final construct, or share your plasmid maps and sequences in standard file formats. Whether you are performing In-Fusion Cloning, Gibson assembly, Restriction Cloning, PCR & mutagenesis, or analyzing a simulated agarose gel, SnapGene automatically records every operation and stores the resulting graphical history in your product file.
