SnapGene
The Industry’s Most Popular Molecular Cloning Tool
The easiest way to plan, visualize and document your everyday molecular cloning procedures.

SnapGene provides the easiest and most secure way to plan, visualize, and document your everyday molecular biology procedures. That’s why scientists at leading institutions and companies around the globe depend on SnapGene every day. 

The easiest way to plan, visualize and document your everyday molecular cloning procedures


Improve accuracy while moving faster, so you save time and money.

  • Elegant, information-rich windows for simulating common cloning and PCR methods
  • Clear visual schematics let you see exactly how your construct will be put together
  • SnapGene helps you identify and avoid common mis-steps by keeping track of details like DNA methylation and phosphorylation


With unparalleled visibility and control, even novice cloners will quickly accomplish complex tasks.

  • Gain unparalleled visibility of your DNA or protein sequence
  • Create and browse richly annotated plasmid maps or scan large DNA sequences with thousands of annotated features
  • Confirm your cloning results with highly visual alignment of sequencing results to your simulated construct

Automatic documentation of simulated procedures saves time and makes sharing and saving work easier, more efficient, and more effective.

  • Automatically generate a rich graphical history of every sequence edit and cloning procedure
  • Enhance collaboration and retain knowledge by sharing constructs complete with the historical details of how it was made
  • Experiment confidently with comprehensive “undo” capabilities that retrace your steps
Beyond the Basics of Molecular Cloning


SnapGene is the most popular cloning tool for a reason. It’s fast, smart and extremely user-friendly
  • Intuitive technology identifies design flaws in cloning procedures so they can be corrected

  • Simulate standard PCR using your own primers, or allow SnapGene to design them automatically
  • Specialised cloning tools ensure fast accurate construct design for all major molecular cloning techniques
  • Verify your project design and prevent errors


    Automatically View Plasmid Features
    • Annotate features on your plasmids using SnapGene’s curated feature database or your own custom features
    • Display enzyme sites, features, primers, ORFs, translations and more on plasmid maps or in detail on the sequence view
    • Customize your maps with flexible annotation and visualization controls



    Check Your Sequences with Alignment Tools
    • Validate your sequenced constructs match your simulated construct using the powerful Align to Reference tool

    • Align sequences using trusted algorithms for pairwise and multiple alignments, including Clustal Omega, MAFFT, MUSCLE and T-Coffee
    • Assemble Sanger sequencing reads into complete contigs using CAP3



    Realistic Agarose Gel Simulations
    • Visualise exactly what you will see in the lab with SnapGene’s empirically based gel simulation algorithm
    • Flexible configuration of all gel elements, including number of lanes, % agarose, running time and a full set of MW markers
    • Record and identify your band of interest with detailed fragment information for each lane

    Configured for automatic documentation and easy data exchange
    Automatically Create a Graphical History
    • Record experimental procedures and changes to documents visually
    • Show history colors in history, map and sequence views
    • Fully resurrectable sequence history embedded in the document
    Convert and Share Data
    • Store, search, share and organize your sequences, files and maps
    • Work collaboratively with sequences in collections stored on sharable drives, servers or cloud services
    • Easily read and export sequences, annotations and other metadata from many common file formats
