Nuclease. A class of enzymes that degrades DNA and/or RNA molecules by cleaving the phosphodiester bonds that link adjacent nucleotides. In deoxyribonuclease (DNase), the substrate is DNA.

Nuclease: An enzyme which degrades nucleic acids. A nuclease can be DNA-specific (a DNase), RNA-specific (RNase) or non-specific.

Exonuclease
An enzyme that digests a molecule of nucleic acid by removing successive nucleotides from the 5' or 3' end. Exonucleases may be specific for single or double stranded DNA or RNA, and may be specific for either 3' or 5' ends.

In one method, genomic DNA is cut with one or more restriction nucleases, and splints are ligated onto the ends of the fragments.

A restriction enzyme (or restriction endonuclease) is an enzyme that cuts double-stranded DNA. The enzyme makes two incisions, one through each of the phosphate backbones of the double helix without damaging the bases.

Restriction enzyme More correctly called a Type II Restriction Endonuclease. A bacterial enzyme which forms part of a system to protect the cell against infection by bacteriophage, and unregulated influx of foreign DNA.

RNA is less stable in the cell, and also more prone to nuclease attack experimentally. As RNA is generated by transcription from DNA, the information is already present in the cell's DNA. However, it is sometimes desirable to sequence RNA molecules.

One of these genes might be what's called a nuclease. Nucleases are things that degrade nucleotides. If Deinococcus was somehow able to better control its nucleases or even delete them altogether it might become more radiation resistant.
