Gene Designer is a computer software package for bioinformatics.[2][3] It is used by molecular biologists from academia, government, and the pharmaceutical, chemical, agricultural, and biotechnology industries to design,[4] clone, and validate genetic sequences. It is proprietary software, released as freeware needing registration.

Features

Gene Designer enables molecular biologists to manage the full gene design process in one application, using a range of design tools.

Gene Designer clones with a drag and drop feature. Users can drag a 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.

Educator and student use

This free software has been incorporated into classroom and lab curricula for synthetic biology, systems biology, bioengineering, and bioinformatics. Students create and complete projects which manage the full gene design process in one application, using a range of design tools.

Examples of use in curricula:
