DNAGenIQ - Random DNA sequence generator
Generate random DNA sequences with controlled length, GC content, and restriction sites.

Test sequences
High GC content
Low GC content

Generate batches of mutated DNA variants from one or more FASTA sequences. Create substitution, insertion, deletion, or mixed variant libraries with reproducible settings.

Generate random protein sequences with customizable length, composition, and amino acid properties

Generate random RNA sequences with customizable types and structural features

Shuffle DNA sequences while preserving nucleotide, dinucleotide, or k-mer composition for generating randomized control sequences

Convert CSV and TSV files containing sequence data to FASTA format with flexible column mapping and automatic delimiter detection

Translate DNA sequences to protein sequences using genetic code

Convert DNA sequences to RNA (transcription) - replaces T with U

Split large FASTA files into smaller chunks. Divide by sequence count or create individual files for each sequence.

Convert FASTA sequence files to FASTQ format with mock quality scores

Convert FASTQ sequence files to FASTA format
DNAGenIQ generates random DNA sequences with controllable parameters. Synthetic sequences serve as negative controls in sequence analysis, test datasets for bioinformatics pipelines, and placeholder inserts for cloning vector design.
ProteinIQ runs DNAGenIQ directly in the browser with instant results and no account required.
| Setting | Description |
|---|---|
Number of sequences | How many sequences to generate (default 1) |
Sequence length (bp) | Length of each sequence in base pairs (default 200) |
GC content (%) | Target percentage of G and C nucleotides (default 50%) |
Add restriction sites | Toggle to include enzyme recognition sequences |
Restriction sites | Select which site to add: EcoRI, BamHI, HindIII, PstI, XbaI, or SalI |
Sequences are returned in FASTA format with automatically generated headers. The output can be copied or downloaded directly.
The GC content parameter controls the ratio of guanine and cytosine to adenine and thymine. Natural DNA varies widely: bacterial genomes range from 25% to 75% GC, while mammalian genomes average around 40%. Setting GC content to 50% produces a balanced random sequence; lower values create AT-rich sequences, higher values create GC-rich sequences.
Restriction sites, when enabled, are inserted at the sequence termini to facilitate downstream cloning workflows.
