How to find AccI sites in a sequence

  1. Paste a DNA sequence or FASTA record into the box above. AccI is already entered under Only these enzymes.
  2. Tick Circular DNA for a plasmid, so a site that spans the end and the start is found.
  3. The map marks each AccI cut with its position. Copy or download the output below it.

Frequently asked questions

What sequence does AccI cut?

AccI recognizes GTMKAC (written 5' to 3') and cuts the top strand at GT^MKAC.

Does AccI leave sticky or blunt ends?

Sticky ends: a 2-base 5' overhang (MK).

How often does AccI cut?

A site like GTMKAC turns up about once every 1,024 bp in random DNA. Real sequences vary, so check yours above.
