Abstract excerpt
The Type IIS restriction endonuclease SapI recognizes the DNA sequence 5'-GCTCTTC-3' (top strand by convention) and cleaves downstream (N1/N4) indicating top- and bottom-strand spacing, respectively. The asymmetric nature of DNA recognition presented the possibility that one, if not two, nicking variants might be created from SapI. To explore this possibility, two parallel selection procedures were designed to...
