Reverse DNA Sequence
Instantly reverse any DNA nucleotide sequence online.
Reversed Sequence:
The result will appear here.
This tool reverses a DNA sequence, producing the sequence read from 3′ to 5′ instead of the standard 5′ to 3′ direction.
Reversing a sequence is a common operation in molecular biology and bioinformatics, for example when working with complementary strand analyses.

FAQ
What does reversing a DNA sequence mean?
Reversing a DNA sequence means writing the nucleotides in the opposite order, from the last nucleotide to the first. For example, ATGC becomes CGTA.
When would you reverse a DNA sequence?
Sequence reversal is used in various bioinformatics tasks, such as constructing reverse primers or analyzing sequence palindromes.
Is a reversed sequence the same as a complement?
No. Reversing only changes the order of nucleotides. Complementing replaces each nucleotide with its complement (A↔T, C↔G). Reverse complement combines both operations.
Can this tool handle long sequences?
Yes, the tool supports long DNA sequences used in research and bioinformatics.
