See the tutorial for usage and examples.

Each function includes its purpose, API, inputs, outputs, example code and result description. Prepare any required credentials, local files and optional dependencies; remote results vary with database releases and query time.

Simulate restriction digestion and resulting fragments

dnakit.databases.dna_virtual_digest(*, operation=None, sequence, enzymes=None, circular=None, verbose=True)

Parameter	Type	Required / default	Description and constraints
operation	string	None	Operation (optional; defaults to 'virtual_digest' for this tool).
sequence	string	Required	DNA sequence (A, T, G, C, N only). Case insensitive.
enzymes	array | null	None	List of enzyme names to use for digestion (e.g., ['EcoRI', 'BamHI']). If null, uses all 24 NEB enzymes. {"items": {"type": "string"}}
circular	boolean | null	None	Treat sequence as circular DNA (e.g., plasmid). Default: false (linear).
verbose	bool	True	Progress flag.
