SnapGene is the first molecular biology software that is easier to use than pen and paper. Now every DNA construct made in your lab can be documented in a rich electronic format… and thanks to the free SnapGene Viewer, the files can be shared with colleagues around the world.

Geneious combines all the major DNA and protein sequence analysis tools into one revolutionary software solution!

Two software applications are available from Technelysium: Chromas and ChromasPro.

Serial Cloner has been developed to provide a light yet powerful molecular biology software to both Macintosh and Windows users. A Linux version is also distributed. Serial Cloner reads and write DNA Strider-compatible files and import and export files in the universal FASTA format. Serial Cloner also import files saved in the Vector NTI, MacVector, ApE, DNAstar, pDRAW32 and GenBank formats. Import from VectorNTI multi-file format is also supported. Powerful graphical display tools and simple interfaces help the analysis and construction steps in a very intuitive way. Serial Cloner 2.5, handles Annotations and Features both in the sequence and in the Graphic Map and can automatically scan for sequence Features. »

Genome Compiler is an easy to use genetic design platform allowing researchers to manipulate and design everything from single genes to entire genomes.

A free and open source GUI toolkit for DNA editing - written in python

Vector NTI is a bioinformatics software package. The current versions are v11.5.1 for Windows/PCs and v7.1 for Macs, but only supporting Mac OS X v10.3 (Panther).Features create, annotate, analyse, and share DNA/protein sequences perform and save BLAST searches design primers for PCR, cloning, sequencing or hybridisation experiments plan cloning and run gels in silico align multiple protein or DNA sequences search NCBI’s Entrez, view, and save DNAs, proteins, and citations edit chromatogram data, assemble into contigsSee also Bioinformatics Vector (molecular biology), Vector DNA, Cloning vector, Expression vector Restriction map Computational biology List of open source bioinformatics software »

BioEdit is a biological sequence alignment editor written for Windows 95/98/NT/2000/XP/7. An intuitive multiple document interface with convenient features makes alignment and manipulation of sequences relatively easy on your desktop computer. Several sequence manipulation and analysis options and links to external analysis programs facilitate a working environment which allows you to view and manipulate sequences with simple point-and-click operations.

Scientific software for the molecular biologist. Performs virtual DNA cloning, analyses DNA for restriction enzymes, homing enzymes and primer sites, dam and dcm methylation sites, finds and translates open reading frames. Calculates annealing temperatures for PCR. Generates DNA/plasmid plots, virtual agarose gel plots, XY-homology plots - and more!

DNA analysis for the workbench

Findings is your lab notebook, reinvented. With Findings, you can easily keep track of your experiments and your research: your lab notebook is always with you and always up to date, be it on the field, at the bench, or at a conference. Findings helps you browse your results, reproduce crucial experiments, and assemble and publish your discoveries. Findings for iOS is even more powerful when used in combination with Findings for Mac (separate app available on our web site), and with Apple Watch.

GeneStudio Pro is a modern suite of molecular biology applications for the Windows platform built on our sequence format conversion engine, SeqVerter. All manipulations with sequences of different formats are thus seamless and transparent for the user. In addition, GeneStudio Pro is very well integrated with the information available for molecular biologists on the Internet (please make sure to read the NCBI Disclaimer and copyright information before using Entrez and BLAST).

PlasmaDNA is a free DNA analysis and manipulation software. It is simple to learn and to use, and contains multiple features designed to help with:

ApE is a science application for plasmid editing.

DNADynamo - for Windows, OSX and Linux. Download it now for abi/scf trace alignments, sub cloning and plasmid management, blast/sequence retrieval, sequence annotation and structure viewing - all in one integrated and easy to use bioinformatics program.
