DNA/RNA Reverse Complement Tool

A reverse complement sequence is created by reversing the original sequence and replacing each nucleotide with its complementary base (A↔T, G↔C for DNA; A↔U, G↔C for RNA). This is essential for understanding DNA/RNA structure and designing primers.

Reverse complement sequences are crucial for PCR primer design, understanding DNA replication, and analyzing gene sequences. They help identify complementary strands and potential binding sites in molecular biology research.

While DNA uses thymine (T) as a complementary base to adenine (A), RNA uses uracil (U). Our tool automatically handles both types of sequences, making it versatile for various molecular biology applications.

While this tool focuses on reverse complement generation, you might also need to calculate GC content, melting temperatures, or molecular weights. Check out our other biology tools for comprehensive sequence analysis capabilities.
