EcoRI is a restriction enzyme, specifically a type II restriction endonuclease, that is widely used in molecular biology. It is derived from the bacterium *Escherichia coli* (hence the name "Eco") and was first identified in the 1970s. EcoRI recognizes and cuts DNA at a specific sequence of six nucleotides: GAATTC.
