- Genomes Can Be Mapped By Linkage, Restriction Cleavage, Or Dna Sequence
Defining the contents of a genome essentially means making a map. We can think about mapping genes and genomes at several levels of resolution:A genetic (or linkage) map identifies the distance between mutations in terms of recombination frequencies....
- Restriction Endonucleases Are A Key Tool In Mapping Dna
KEY TERMS:Restriction endonucleases recognize specific short sequences of DNA and cleave the duplex (sometimes at target site, sometimes elsewhere, depending on type). A restriction map is a linear array of sites on DNA cleaved by various restriction...

Definition
- Palindrome is a word, phrase, number, or other sequence of units that can be read the same way in either direction
- (molecular biology) Palindrome is a sequence that reads the same forwards and backwards. Some enzymes (restriction enzymes) have the ability to recognise palindromes and cut DNA-sequences at these specific sites
