Range Extractor DNA

Extract DNA sequence segments by position or range

Tool Configuration
Configure the parameters for Range Extractor DNA

Paste a raw sequence or one or more FASTA sequences. Input limit is 500,000,000 characters.

Enter base positions or ranges. Use ".." for ranges, comma to separate. Keywords: start, end, center, length. Arithmetic expressions allowed, e.g., "(end - 2)..end" or "(center - 30)..(center + 30)".

Choose which strand to extract bases from.

How to return the extracted segments.

1

Enter DNA Sequences

Paste your DNA sequences in FASTA format or as raw sequences. The tool automatically removes non-DNA characters.

2

Define Ranges to Extract

Specify positions or ranges using syntax like "1, 5, 10..20". Use keywords (start, end, center) or arithmetic expressions like "(end - 10)..end".

3

Select Strand and Output Format

Choose whether to extract from the direct or complement strand, and select your preferred output format (new sequence, separate, or highlighted).

4

Execute and Download

Run the extraction and review the results. Download the extracted segments for further analysis or experimental design.

Use Cases
Common applications for the Range Extractor DNA tool

Extract Specific Regions

Extract specific genomic regions like promoters, coding sequences, or regulatory elements using position information.

Subsequence Analysis

Isolate specific parts of sequences for detailed analysis or experimental design.

Feature Highlighting

Use uppercased or lowercased output to highlight important features within their sequence context.

Primer Design

Extract flanking regions around a target site for primer design or amplicon analysis.

Range Syntax Examples

Single position: 5 - Extract base at position 5
Range: 10..20 - Extract bases 10 through 20
Multiple ranges: 1..10, 20..30, 50 - Extract multiple segments
Keywords: start, end, center, length - Use sequence properties
Arithmetic: (end - 10)..end - Last 10 bases
Center region: (center - 30)..(center + 30) - 61 bases around center
