AutoSnapGene

SnapGene is an excellent tool for viewing and editing plasmid maps, but it’s difficult to programmatically work with the binary files (*.dna) that SnapGene reads and writes. This is what AutoSnapGene helps with. AutoSnapGene is both a python library for parsing SnapGene files, and a set of command-line tools for automating simple tasks. You can use these tools to:

• Automatically add sequencing data to your plasmids.
• Synchronize features and primers over all of your plasmids at once.
• Seamlessly use the sequences stored in your SnapGene file in other scripts.
• Programmatically build sequences from combinations of smaller parts.
