How to find BsrGI sites in a sequence

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

Frequently asked questions

What sequence does BsrGI cut?

BsrGI recognizes TGTACA (written 5' to 3') and cuts the top strand at T^GTACA.

Does BsrGI leave sticky or blunt ends?

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

Which enzymes leave ends compatible with BsrGI?

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

How often does BsrGI cut?

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