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 molecular biology software allows you to easily plan and simulate your DNA manipulations, visualize ORFs, reading frames, and primer binding sites, automatically record steps in a cloning project, and share annotated sequence files with other researchers.
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.
