Restriction map

A restriction map is a representation of the arrangement of restriction enzyme cut sites within a DNA molecule. It provides information about the locations where specific restriction enzymes cleave the DNA, thus allowing researchers to understand the structure and organization of the DNA at a granular level. Key aspects of restriction maps include: 1. **Restriction Enzymes**: These are proteins that recognize specific short DNA sequences and cut the DNA at those sites. Each enzyme has a unique recognition sequence.
