A new restriction endonuclease, SrfI has been isolated from an unidentified species of Streptomyces. SrfI recognizes the 8-bp palindrome, 5'-GCCCGGGC and cleaves double-stranded DNA after the third C in the sequence, producing blunt ends. SrfI is a rare-cutting enzyme and should therefore be useful for megabase mapping.
