Seqsearcher takes a polypeptide sequence and returns positions where silent mutations can be introduced to create restriction sites. Since it can't tell what the real DNA sequence is, it will also find real restriction sites. This is useful for generating cloning sites for cassette mutagenesis[1]. Cassette mutagenesis based on cloning between restriction sites has largely been superceded by PCR methods, but the software is available.
Because the technique is not widely used anymore, further development of SeqSearcher is not being actively pursued.
