Codon Usage Calculator for DNA Sequences

Our free codon usage calculator analyzes codon frequency and codon bias in DNA sequences, providing essential insights for genetic engineering and protein expression optimization. The codon usage calculator identifies which codons are most frequently used in your sequence, helping researchers understand codon optimization patterns and improve recombinant protein production.

The tool calculates codon frequency for all 64 possible codons, showing how often each codon appears relative to synonymous codons encoding the same amino acid. This codon bias analysis is crucial for designing synthetic genes, optimizing protein expression in different organisms, and understanding evolutionary patterns. Use our main sequence analyzer for comprehensive analysis, DNA translation tool to convert codons to amino acids, or our ORF finder to identify coding regions before codon analysis.

All codon usage calculations are performed instantly in your browser with complete privacy. The codon usage calculator is essential for molecular biologists, genetic engineers, and bioinformatics researchers working on protein expression, synthetic biology, and genetic code optimization projects.
