Genomancer - Hyper-powerful Restriction Enzyme Simulator This app brings a full laboratory-grade restriction digest engine straight to your device. Built for students, researchers, biohackers, and anyone working with DNA, it provides an intuitive interface for simulating enzyme cuts, visualizing plasmid maps, and analyzing fragments. All without needing a desktop environment! Run digest simulations on linear or circular DNA, explore cut positions, predict overhangs, view fragment sequences, and generate everything from restriction maps to gel electrophoresis simulations. It’s the fastest way to test cloning strategies, verify designs, or teach restriction biology interactively. Key Features • Full Restriction Digest Engine Simulate 1–N enzymes on linear or circular DNA with support for overlapping sites, circular wrap-around fragments, and single-cut linearization. • 350+ Restriction Enzymes Built-In Automatic loading from the internal enzyme database with full IUPAC degenerate-base support. Advanced matching ensures accurate recognition and cut positions. • Detailed Fragment Analysis View exact sequence fragments, overhang types (5', 3', blunt), end bases, and fragmentation boundaries. Perfect for planning ligations and cloning schemes. • Circular & Linear Maps Generate plasmid maps, linear maps, and annotated cut-site diagrams right from your phone. • Agarose Gel Simulation Preview how your digest would look on a real gel with ladders, band merging, and customizable agarose percentage. • Ligation Compatibility Checker Automatically determine which fragments can ligate based on sticky-end complementarity, directionality, overhang type, and Tm/GC heuristics. • Advanced Visualization Generate plasmid maps, linear maps, and fragment diagrams. Who This App Is For • Molecular biologists • Synthetic biology students • Genetic engineers • Wet-lab researchers • Bioinformatics learners • Cloning and plasmid design enthusiasts • Educators teaching DNA digestion concepts Whether you’re checking a digestion pattern, designing a cloning strategy on the fly, or teaching restriction analysis, this app gives you a compact but powerful toolkit you can use anywhere even away from the lab bench.
