| sticky ends | The short stretches of single stranded DNA produced by cutting DNA with restriction endonucleases whose site of cleavage is not at the axis of symmetry. The cut generates two complementary sequences that will hybridise (stick) to one another or to the sequences on other DNA fragments produced by the same restriction endonuclease. (18 Nov 1997) |
| sticky-ended DNA | Double-stranded DNA in which one of the strands protrudes from the other strand (i.e., has a number of unpaired bases) at one end or more. (05 Mar 2000) |
