Window Extractor DNA

How to extract sliding windows from DNA

  1. Paste a DNA sequence, as plain text or FASTA.
  2. Set the window size and the step between the start of one window and the next.
  3. Each window becomes a FASTA record with its position in the title.

Frequently asked questions

What step should I use?

A step equal to the window size gives windows that touch without overlapping. A smaller step makes them overlap; a step of 1 gives every possible window.

Is my sequence uploaded?
