Phrases with «restriction fragment»

A "restriction fragment" refers to a specific section of DNA that is created when a DNA molecule is cut by a restriction enzyme. The enzyme acts like molecular scissors, breaking the DNA at specific points to produce smaller fragments. These fragments can be used in genetic research, such as DNA sequencing or genetic engineering. They are often used to study specific genes or identify variations in DNA between individuals.
