    Purpose of the Study:

    • To modify and extend the functionality of the REVCUT computer program.
    • To develop a more accurate method for searching restriction endonuclease recognition sites.
    • To specifically target non-coding DNA sequences, excluding protein-coding regions.

    Main Methods:

    • Implementation of bit pattern searching for enhanced efficiency and accuracy.
    • Modification of the original REVCUT algorithm.
    • Extension of the program's capability to include a wider array of restriction endonucleases.

    Main Results:

    • The modified program demonstrates increased accuracy in identifying restriction sites.
    • The enhanced program successfully searches for sites within non-coding DNA sequences.
    • The range of analyzed restriction endonucleases has been significantly extended.

    Conclusions:

    • The updated REVCUT program offers a more precise and versatile tool for DNA sequence analysis.
    • This advancement facilitates research in areas requiring precise identification of restriction sites in non-coding genomic regions.
