<li>Restriction Digestion is a technique used to cut DNA molecules into smaller fragments using restriction enzymes.</li>
<li>Restriction enzymes are proteins produced by bacteria that can recognize and cut specific DNA sequences.</li>
<li>They are named after the bacteria from which they were originally isolated, for example, EcoRI, HindIII, BamHI.</li>
<li>The cuts made by restriction enzymes generate sticky or blunt ends, depending on the enzyme used.</li>
<li>Restriction digestion plays a crucial role in recombinant DNA technology and genetic engineering.</li>

<ul>
<li>Restriction enzymes recognize specific DNA sequences, known as recognition sites.</li>
<li>The recognition site is usually a palindromic sequence, meaning it reads the same in the forward and reverse direction.</li>
<li>Restriction enzymes cleave the DNA strands at specific positions within the recognition site, generating cohesive (sticky) or blunt ends.</li>
<li>Cohesive ends have short, single-stranded overhangs, allowing for easy connection with complementary ends.</li>
<li>Blunt ends, on the other hand, have no overhangs and can be directly ligated.</li>
