Abstract:
Restriction endonucleases are enzymes of bacterial origin that have the ability to cleave double-stranded DNA at specific sites. Their discovery by Werner Arber in 1965 revolutionized molecular biology by enabling the development of recombinant DNA techniques. Although widely used in laboratories, the development of new methods has in some cases replaced their use. Cloning of DNA fragments into vectors, creation of libraries, and the study of restriction fragment length polymorphisms (RFLPs) are some of their applications. In the practical part of the chapter, the design of a genotyping reaction for the rs1726866 polymorphism of the TAS2R38 gene using a restriction endonuclease is explained, along with instructions for performing the reaction in the laboratory.
