Frequently Asked Questions

Find Quick Answers

What DNA sequence formats are supported?

The tool accepts raw DNA sequences (ATCG characters), FASTA format, or GenBank format. Non-DNA characters are automatically filtered out.

How does codon optimization work?

Codon optimization replaces rare codons with more frequent ones for your selected organism (E. coli, yeast, human, etc.) to improve protein expression levels.

Can I exclude specific restriction sites?

Yes, you can specify restriction enzyme names or recognition sequences to avoid in the optimized sequence.

Is there a limit on sequence length?

The tool can handle sequences up to 10,000 base pairs. For longer sequences, consider breaking them into smaller fragments.
