Endonucleases are a broad category of enzymes that are essential in DNA manipulation. These enzymes act similar to molecular scissors for the cutting of DNA at internal sites (within the strand) unlike exonucleases that cut DNA from the ends. These enzymes are widely used in genetic engineering, recombinant DNA technology, and other areas. The market is witnessing an upward growth trajectory owing to increasing genomic research, development of personalized medicine, and higher funding for research & development.
