Restriction landmark genomic scanning — (or RLGS) is a genome analysis method that allows for rapid simultaneous visualization of thousands of landmarks, or restriction sites. Using a combination of restriction enzymes some of which are specific to DNA modifications, the technique can… … Wikipedia
Restriction map — A restriction map is a map of known restriction sites within a sequence of DNA. Restriction mapping requires the use of restriction enzymes. In molecular biology, restriction maps mdash;along with DNA DNA hybridization, and DNA or RNA sequence… … Wikipedia
Restriction fragment — A restriction fragment is a DNA fragment resulting from cutting of a DNA strand by a restriction enzyme (restriction endonucleases), a process called restriction. Each restriction enzyme is highly specific, recognising a particular short DNA… … Wikipedia

restriction fragment length polymorphism — Abbreviation: RFLP A class of genetic marker based on the detection of variation in the length of restriction fragments generated when DNA is treated with restriction endonucleases. Differences in fragment lengths arise due to genetic variation… … Glossary of Biotechnology
restriction endonucleases — (= restriction enzymes) Class of bacterial enzymes that cut DNA at specific sites. In bacteria their function is to destroy foreign DNA, such as that of bacteriophages (host DNA is specifically modified at these sites). Type I restriction… … Dictionary of molecular biology
Restriction Fragment Length Polymorphism — n. The older and more discriminating form of DNA testing. Restriction Fragment Length Polymorphism is a process that breaks DNA strands into tiny fragments at specific points on the DNA chain.
