SnapGene by GSL Biotech LLC is a user-friendly software designed to streamline molecular biology procedures, enabling scientists to plan, visualize, and document their cloning projects with precision and efficiency.

• Intuitive Cloning Simulation: Simulate common cloning methods, including restriction cloning, Gibson Assembly, and In-Fusion Cloning, with clear visual schematics that help identify and correct design flaws before laboratory implementation.
• Comprehensive Sequence Visualization: View DNA sequences in multiple formats, such as plasmid maps and sequence views, with customizable annotations for enzyme sites, features, primers, and open reading frames (ORFs), facilitating a deeper understanding of genetic constructs.
• Automatic Documentation: Generate a graphical history of every sequence edit and cloning procedure, ensuring thorough record-keeping and simplifying collaboration by providing a clear audit trail of project development.
• Alignment and Verification Tools: Align DNA sequences with reference sequences using trusted algorithms like Clustal Omega and MUSCLE, and validate constructs through Sanger sequencing read assembly, enhancing the accuracy of cloning projects.
• Agarose Gel Simulation: Simulate agarose gel electrophoresis to predict experimental outcomes, with flexible configuration options for gel elements, aiding in the planning and interpretation of laboratory results.
• Primer Design and Management: Design primers manually or automatically, and manage them effectively within the software, streamlining the PCR process and related applications.
• Extensive File Compatibility: Import and export sequences in various formats, including GenBank, ApE, and DNASTAR Lasergene, ensuring seamless data exchange and integration with other bioinformatics tools.
• Cross-Platform Support: Operate SnapGene on Windows, macOS, and Linux systems, providing flexibility and accessibility across different computing environments.
