DNASTAR, Inc. is a global software company headquartered in Madison, Wisconsin USA that has been meeting the needs of life scientists for more than 25 years. We were born out of the E. coli lab of Dr. Fred Blattner, Professor of Genetics at the University of Wisconsin, in 1984. Our early products reflected this background and association and we built a strong reputation during the Sanger sequencing years of providing outstanding desktop software for DNA and protein sequence assembly and analysis.
