Abstract excerpt
Certain restriction endonucleases recognise target sequences that contain the stop triplet TAG and are commonly either 4 or 6 bp in length. Interestingly, these restriction targets do not occur at the frequency expected on the basis of base composition and size. For example, the tetranucleotide MaeI recognition sequence (CTAG) occurs considerably less commonly (5-8-fold) in the genome of Escherichia coli (and...
