Type II restriction endonucleases cleave DNA at specific palindromic sequences.
the verdict
SUPPORTED
the evidence backs this
confidence 90/100
Multiple studies and reviews confirm that Type II restriction endonucleases typically recognize specific short palindromic sequences and cleave the DNA within or near those sites.
