How to find SnaBI sites in a sequence

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

Frequently asked questions

What sequence does SnaBI cut?

SnaBI recognizes TACGTA (written 5' to 3') and cuts the top strand at TAC^GTA.

Does SnaBI leave sticky or blunt ends?

Blunt ends, with no overhang.

How often does SnaBI cut?

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