     The following is a table for some common restriction enzyme recognition 
sites in the Arabidopsis genome. This table was composed using Jamie Cuticchia's
computer program and data I obtained through searches.  The table itself was
made by John McDowell using the information from the computer printouts of dAta.

The table was put together using the known sequences of Arabidopsis as found
in Genbank and Uembl.  The computer program (which fits a markov chain) takes 
these sequences and searches for trinucleotide, tetranucleotide, and 
hexanucleotide counts (compares random to expected).  John took the 
hexanucleotide counts and looked for common restriction sites which he then
put in table form.
                                         Best of luck,
