How to count bases and GC content

Paste one or more DNA sequences, as plain text or FASTA.
The counts of A, C, G and T, the GC and AT content, purines, pyrimidines and all 16 dinucleotides appear for each sequence.

Frequently asked questions

How is GC content worked out?

G plus C divided by the length of the sequence. Ambiguity codes such as N count towards the length under Other, so a sequence with many Ns shows a lower GC content.

Is my sequence uploaded?

No. Everything runs in your browser, so your sequences never leave your device.
