Random Protein Sequence

Generate random protein sequences of any length using the 20 standard amino acids. Useful for creating control sequences and statistical analysis.

Maximum: 10,000,000 residues
Amino acids used: A, C, D, E, F, G, H, I, K, L, M, N, P, Q, R, S, T, V, W, Y (equal probability)

About Random Protein Sequence

Random Protein Sequence generates completely random sequences using the 20 standard amino acids with equal probability.

Use cases
  • Negative controls for sequence analysis
  • Evaluating statistical significance
  • Testing bioinformatics pipelines
  • Null hypothesis generation
vs Sample
  • Random: uniform distribution, no guide
  • Sample: preserves guide's composition
  • Random is truly unbiased
  • Sample mimics natural sequences
