Science - Biology (-tech,-chem,micro-) / Biochemistry
German term or phrase: Ligation spezifisch geschnittener DNA-Fragmente
Molekularbiologische Methoden
- Analytischer und präparativer Restrikionsverdau
- Ligation spezifisch geschnittener DNA-Fragmente
- Klonierung von shRNA durch Aneinanderlagerung kurzer einzelsträngiger Oligonukleotide

From a Praktkumszeugnis from an Institute for Biochemistry in Germany.

I can't make sense of this. Is it 'ligation-specific to cut DNA fragments' or 'ligation specific to cut DNA fragments' or something else? Actually, I wonder if the -'er' on 'geschnittener' is a typo.
