When it comes to molecular biology, the term "sticky end" refers to the single-stranded DNA overhangs at the end of a double-stranded DNA molecule that are created after a restriction enzyme cuts the DNA at a specific recognition site.

In addition to "sticky end", these single-stranded overhangs can also be referred to as cohesive ends, cohesive termini, or sticky termini.
