BamHI

BamHI is a specific type of enzyme called a restriction enzyme that scientists use to cut DNA at a precise sequence of bases. It recognizes a unique pattern of six DNA letters (GGATCC) and cuts between specific points, allowing researchers to isolate, analyze, or modify parts of genetic material. BamHI is commonly used in genetic research, cloning, and DNA fingerprinting because of its accuracy and reliability in cutting DNA at its designated site.
