How to find NruI sites in a sequence

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

Frequently asked questions

What sequence does NruI cut?

NruI recognizes TCGCGA (written 5' to 3') and cuts the top strand at TCG^CGA.

Does NruI leave sticky or blunt ends?

Blunt ends, with no overhang.

How often does NruI cut?

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