DNA Reverse Complement Tool
Key Features:
- FASTA format support with header preservation
- Three operations: Reverse, Complement, Reverse-Complement
- Automatic sequence cleaning (removes non-DNA characters)
- Case-insensitive processing (maintains uppercase output)
- Clean, responsive design
- Error prevention with input sanitization
How to Use:
- Paste DNA sequence(s) in either raw or FASTA format
- Click desired operation button:
- Reverse: Reverse sequence order
- Complement: Generate complementary strand
- Reverse-Complement: Generate reverse complementary strand
- Results appear below with original FASTA headers preserved
- 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.
