Range Extractor

How to extract ranges from a DNA or protein sequence

  1. Choose DNA or protein under Sequence type, then paste the sequence, as plain text or FASTA.
  2. Type the ranges you want, such as 10..50, 80..120, separated by commas or spaces. Positions start at 1.
  3. Choose whether to join the ranges, list each separately, or show the whole sequence with the ranges in uppercase.

Frequently asked questions

How do I get the reverse complement of a range?

Write it backwards: 50..10 gives the reverse complement of bases 10 to 50.

Are both ends of a range included?

Yes. 10..50 gives positions 10 to 50, which is 41 residues. A single number such as 25 extracts one residue.

Is my sequence uploaded?

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