DNA Reverse Complement Tool

DNA Reverse Complement Tool

Key Features:

  1. FASTA format support with header preservation
  2. Three operations: Reverse, Complement, Reverse-Complement
  3. Automatic sequence cleaning (removes non-DNA characters)
  4. Case-insensitive processing (maintains uppercase output)
  5. Clean, responsive design
  6. Error prevention with input sanitization

How to Use:

  1. Paste DNA sequence(s) in either raw or FASTA format
  2. Click desired operation button:
    • Reverse: Reverse sequence order
    • Complement: Generate complementary strand
    • Reverse-Complement: Generate reverse complementary strand
  3. Results appear below with original FASTA headers preserved
  4. Use Clear button to reset

Handles:

  • Mixed case input (outputs uppercase)
  • Multi-sequence FASTA files
  • Invalid characters (automatically filtered)
  • Large sequences (browser performance dependent)

The tool follows standard molecular biology conventions for DNA sequence manipulation, matching the functionality of professional bioinformatics tools while maintaining simplicity for educational use.
