Abstract: The simulation of the main molecular operations used in DNA Computing can lead the researchers to develop complex algorithms and methods without the need of working with real DNA strands in-vitro. The purpose of this paper is to present a computer program which simulates a cutting process over DNA molecules which is an essential operation for the DNA computation. This simulation represents a useful tool for a virtual laboratory which is oriented to DNA computations. The results given by the software can show the behavior of a DNA cutting under certain set of restrictive enzymes to carry out the operation in-vitro efficiently.
