Summary Introduction
To review:
The sticky ends that are created by a staggered cut in deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) by restriction endonucleases.
Introduction:
Restriction endonucleases are DNA cutting enzymes. These enzymes recognize the specific sequences on the DNA to make a cut known as restriction sites. These enzymes make double stranded cuts in the DNA giving either staggered or blunt cuts.
