About SeqBench
SeqBench is a bioinformatics workbench focused on one thing: making everyday molecular biology design fast, transparent, and reproducible — from an individual sequence to a complete cloning workflow.
Design & simulate
Edit plasmids, open and export SnapGene .dna files, design primers, simulate cloning, and plan CRISPR experiments — the core molecular-biology workflow in one place.
Scale up
Move from one sequence to a whole FASTA, build repeatable multi-step workflows, or let SeqBench-GPT coordinate a design in plain language.
Verify
Transparent formulas and documented reference tables — like the NCBI Standard Genetic Code — instead of a black box, so results can be checked against an authoritative source.
Why we built SeqBench
Molecular biology software has traditionally meant a choice between an expensive desktop license and a scattered set of single-purpose web calculators that don't talk to each other. We built SeqBench as a single, stateless workbench that covers the everyday cloning-and-primer-design loop end to end, and keeps the individual tools connected through shared files, batch processing and multi-step workflows. For design in plain language, SeqBench-GPT plans the workflow, runs the tools, and will not mark a construct finished without an independent verification step. We work in bioinformatics ourselves and use these tools for day-to-day sequence design work, which is why development tends to track real lab tasks — cloning, CRISPR guide design, primer and oligo specificity — rather than a long tail of rarely used features.
Data handling
The workbench keeps calculations consistent across interactive, batch and guided workflows. Inputs are processed transiently to compute a result and are not retained. Public-record lookups use only the identifier needed to retrieve the requested record. See the Privacy Policy and Terms of Service for details.
Accuracy & standards
Tools use transparent formulas, reference tables, and documented assumptions where possible, such as the Standard Genetic Code (NCBI table 1) for translation. Results are provided for research and educational use — SeqBench is not intended for clinical or diagnostic use. Please verify critical results against an authoritative source before relying on them.
