How to find BspHI sites in a sequence

  1. Paste a DNA sequence or FASTA record into the box above. BspHI 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 BspHI cut with its position. Copy or download the output below it.

Frequently asked questions

What sequence does BspHI cut?

BspHI recognizes TCATGA (written 5' to 3') and cuts the top strand at T^CATGA.

Does BspHI leave sticky or blunt ends?

Sticky ends: a 4-base 5' overhang (CATG).

Which enzymes leave ends compatible with BspHI?

NcoI. Their overhangs are the same, so the ends can be ligated to each other.

How often does BspHI cut?

A site like TCATGA turns up about once every 4,096 bp in random DNA. Real sequences vary, so check yours above.
