One of the fragments produced by the cleavage of DNA by a restriction enzyme.
A fragment of DNA produced by cleaving (digesting, cutting) a DNA molecule with one or more restriction endonucleases.
DNA fragment resulting from cutting DNA with a restriction enzyme. DNA segments possess specific endings as a result of different restriction enzymes.

A piece of DNA identified by a specific restriction enzyme.
The piece of DNA released after restriction digestion of plasmids or genomic DNA. See "Restriction enzyme". One can digest a plasmid and isolate one particular restriction fragment (actually a set of identical fragments). The term also describes the fragments detected on a genomic blot which carry the gene of interest.
A defined DNA fragment resulting from cleavage with a particular restriction enzyme. These fragments are used in the production of recombinant DNA molecules and DNA cloning.
A DNA fragment resulting from cutting of a DNA strand by a restriction enzyme (restriction endonucleases), a process called restriction. Each restriction enzyme is highly specific, recognising a particular short DNA sequence, or restriction site, and cutting both DNA strands at specific points within this site. Most restriction sites are palindromic, (the sequence of nucleotides is the same on both strands when read in the 5' to 3' direction), and are four to eight nucleotides long.
