RSITE: a computer program to predict the recognition sequence of a restriction enzyme.

C M Tolstoshev, R W Blakesley

    Nucleic Acids Research
    |January 11, 1982
    PubMed
    Summary

    A new computer program, RSITE, predicts restriction enzyme recognition sequences. By analyzing DNA fragment sizes from enzymatic cleavage, RSITE accurately identifies enzyme specificities and discovered a new enzyme sequence.
