Homing endonuclease

NOTE: Homing endonucleases do not really have recognition sequences in the way that restriction enzymes do. The recognition sequence listed is one site that is known to be recognized and cleaved. In general, single base changes merely change the efficiency of cleavage and the precise boundary of required bases is not known.

Recognition Sequence:
 C T G G G T T C A A A A C G T C G T G A^G A C A G T T T G G 0
