This document summarizes different types of DNA manipulative enzymes including nucleases, ligases, polymerases, and modifying enzymes. It describes the functions of various nucleases like exonucleases and endonucleases that degrade DNA. Ligases repair breaks in double-stranded DNA. Polymerases make copies of DNA or RNA templates. Restriction endonucleases recognize and cut palindromic DNA sequences and are classified into types I, II, and III. The document also discusses how to convert blunt ends produced by restriction enzymes into sticky ends using linkers, adaptors, or homopolymer tailing.
