Gene Designer is a free bioinformatics software package.[1][2] It is used by Molecular Biologists from academia, government and the pharmaceutical, chemical, agricultural and biotechnology industries to design,[3] clone and validate genetic sequences.

Features

Gene Designer enables Molecular Biologists to capture the entire gene design process in one application, using a range of design tools.

Gene Designer clones with a drag-and-drop feature. Users can drag their vector and insert into the Cloning Tool; cut, combine and clone. Gene Designer assembles a clone that can then be dropped directly into a project.
