“I’m sold on SnapGene. It’s an incredibly elegant yet intuitive program and cloning without it is akin to going back to using dial-up internet.”

Brandon

UCLA

“SnapGene is so easy to use and beautiful that my lab adopted it instantly. It saves a lot of time and money because we now do all our cloning in SnapGene first and catch any snags in the strategy before they hold us up.”

Matouschek

Northwestern Univsersity

“SnapGene is a very complete, yet remarkably user-friendly application. Our entire lab adopted it without any reservations and it has proved to be the ideal tool for easy and thorough documentation of all the constructs we are routinely generating.”

A.M. Alleaume

Centre for Genomic Regulation Barcelona

“I don’t like SnapGene, I love SnapGene. It is the best tool I have ever used for cloning.”
