How to find which enzymes cut your DNA

  1. Paste a DNA sequence, as plain text or FASTA.
  2. Choose which enzymes to show: all that cut, single or double cutters, or those that do not cut. Tick Circular DNA for a plasmid.
  3. Each enzyme is listed with its site, the number of cuts, the cut positions and the fragment sizes.
