SnapGene Registration

SnapGene’s license cost will increase to $180 per computer on 11/1/2026. Licenses purchased prior to that date will still be charged the full $145 for the current license, and then $180 for the renewal. New SnapGene users can get a free trial from the vendor to cover short-term use and avoid the double charge.

  • SnapGene is available to the Washington University community for an annual license price of $145 per computer. The SnapGene license year runs from November to November, with licenses renewing automatically. License costs cannot be prorated.
