Optical mapping [1] is a technique for constructing ordered, genome-wide, high-resolution restriction maps from single, stained molecules of DNA, called "optical maps". By mapping the location of restriction enzyme sites along the unknown DNA of an organism, the spectrum of resulting DNA fragments collectively serves as a unique "fingerprint" or "barcode" for that sequence.
The density of RAD tags in a genome depends on the restriction enzyme used during the isolation process. [5] There are other restriction site marker techniques, like RFLP or amplified fragment length polymorphism (AFLP), which use fragment length polymorphism caused by different restriction sites, for the distinction of genetic polymorphism ...
Several databases exist for restriction sites and enzymes, of which the largest noncommercial database is REBASE. [5] [6] Recently, it has been shown that statistically significant nullomers (i.e. short absent motifs which are highly expected to exist) in virus genomes are restriction sites indicating that viruses have probably got rid of these motifs to facilitate invasion of bacterial hosts.

A restriction map is a map of known restriction sites within a sequence of DNA. Restriction mapping requires the use of restriction enzymes . In molecular biology , restriction maps are used as a reference to engineer plasmids or other relatively short pieces of DNA, and sometimes for longer genomic DNA.
This is the recognition sequence for the restriction endonuclease EcoRV. The green vertical line represents the location where the enzyme cuts the double-stranded DNA helix. In the case of EcoRV, the cut is blunt leaving no overhanging ends.
T-RFLP Analysis (APLAUS+): Another ‚‘in-silico‘‘ assignment tool on the website of the Microbial Community Analysis project at the University of Idaho: BEsTRF: a tool for optimal resolution of terminal restriction fragment length polymorphism analysis based on user defined primer-enzyme-sequence databases
Restriction landmark genomic scanning (RLGS) is a genome analysis method for rapid simultaneous visualization of thousands of landmarks, or restriction sites.Using a combination of restriction enzymes some of which are specific to DNA modifications, the technique can be used to visualize differences in methylation levels across the genome of a given organism.

The production site is flanked by two restriction enzyme cutting sites "A" and "B" with incompatible sticky ends. The mammalian DNA does not come with these restriction sites, so they are built in by overlap extension PCR. The primers are designed to put the restriction sites carefully, so that the coding of the protein is in-frame, and a ...
