Simulate, then commit
Restriction cloning, Gibson, Golden Gate, In-Fusion, and PCR — modeled end to end. Find the design mistake at your desk, not after two weeks of cell culture.
SnapGene 8.0 — now available

Cloning you can trust —
before you touch a pipette.
SnapGene is the point-and-click software molecular biologists use to plan, simulate, and document DNA experiments — so every construct works the first time.
Trusted by thousands of labs in academia and industry worldwide.

Fewer failed constructs. More completed experiments.
Everything between your idea and a verified plasmid, handled in one place.
Sequences that align themselves
Import chromatograms, assemble Sanger reads, and spot every mismatch in seconds — with the evidence saved alongside your construct.
Documentation that writes itself
Every primer, enzyme, and construct becomes a shareable annotated record. Your lab's institutional memory survives the notebook, the hard drive, and the personnel change.
Stop paying to re-sequence what you already know.
Sanger reads assemble against your construct automatically. Mutations, frameshifts, and silent disagreements are flagged the moment they appear — so you confirm a clone in minutes instead of a week.
- Reads .ab1 chromatograms natively
- Assembles multiple reads with overlap
- Highlights every mismatch against the reference
