sticky end
A sticky end refers to a short overhanging segment of single-stranded DNA or RNA at the end of a double-stranded DNA molecule, which is produced during DNA digestion by certain types of restriction enzymes. These ends are called "sticky" because they are capable of forming complementary base pairings with each other, allowing the DNA to adhere or "stick" to other DNA molecules with compatible sticky ends. This property is often used in genetic engineering to combine DNA from different sources.

Examples of sticky end in a Sentence

So I’m to some extent slightly inclined to forgive capitalism for being about to collapse. I mean there are lots of fine things, lots of love affairs and the like which have come to a sticky end. On the other hand, it is quite an accusation - quite hard for it to live down - that it's going to destroy the entire planet with it.
