How to find StuI sites in a sequence

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

Frequently asked questions

What sequence does StuI cut?

StuI recognizes AGGCCT (written 5' to 3') and cuts the top strand at AGG^CCT.

Does StuI leave sticky or blunt ends?

Blunt ends, with no overhang.

How often does StuI cut?

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