View and modify DNA constructs, share the files with your coworkers around the globe. Pick DNA fragments and have gene fusions automatically created, insert pieces into a plasmid without the need for restriction enzymes, simulate a cloning mechanism with an error detected and corrected.

Genetic research and biochemistry are very important today since they can help humans to fight infectious and hereditary diseases and create new and enhanced species.

SnapGene is a program that allows users to view, edit, and annotate biochemical sequences, such as proteins and DNA. It has a colorful interface that makes these tasks more user-friendly. It also makes extensive use of graphics, so the information is displayed in a clear manner.

The program has a huge amount of features that allow you to simulate the cloning of DNA sequences, the insertion of DNA fragments into a sequence, align DNA to a chromosome, and more.

Please note that the program is aimed to scientists and specialized professionals, and not to the casual or novice user. Thus, you need a solid previous knowledge to use this program and take advantage of all its features.

You can try the program before buying a license. To do so, you need to enter a valid e-mail address and click on the link you will receive. You can use the program during one full month. If you find the program useful, you can purchase a yearly or permanent license whose cost will vary, depending on whether you use it for academic or for-profit purposes, as well as on the amount of users.
