I think this is due to the over-representation of recognition sites with length 6:
data<-c(16, 16, 12, 12, 6, 6, 6, 6, 4, 16, 6, 6, 6, 6, 15, 15, 6, 6, 6, 6, 11, 11, 6, 6, 4, 4, 6, 6, 11, 12, 6, 6, 23, 23, 6, 6, 6, 6, 9, 12, 4, 4, 6, 6, 6, 6, 6, 6, 6, 6, 6, 7, 7, 10, 10, 6, 4, 6, 6, 11, 11, 9, 9, 6, 6, 6, 6, 5, 5, 8, 8, 6, 6, 8, 8, 6, 9, 10, 10, 6, 6, 6, ...

A) Here is the correct map:
You made a mistake on your map at the PvuII site (it is not on 6.5kB from the start of the plasmid, but on 6kB).
Can the Kpn I not go on the 8.5 site, it still creates the 2 and 8.5, so isn't there more than 1 correct option for plasmid map?
Yes. What you need to do in order to make the correct map is try all possible ...

I think the best way is option #2:
Suppose that your gene of interest is AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGG
and you want to insert EcoRI restriction site GAATCC
Then your Fwd primer will be GAATCC AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA
and your Rev primer will be GGATTC CCCCCCCCCCCCCCCC
But in general, it shouldn't matter which option you choose, as long as you ...

Not sure why Larry Parnell was down-voted, he was not technically wrong.
Crystal structures of the most popular restriction enzymes are already known and can easily be found the Protein Data Bank or Wikipedia for graphical reference. Any stretch of double-stranded DNA makes a complete 360 rotation (about it's helical axis) in 10-10.5 base pairs. A 180 ...

I am not sure of a case where Taq doesn't add 3' A overhangs.
You could use TA cloning to clone your PCR product. The basic principle is to use a vector with 3' T overhangs. If you have a vector without these overhangs, you can use a terminal transferase + dTTPs to create them (or even Taq, but this is not as great because it adds a purification step to ...
