- Definition one of the two strands of DNA or RNA with the opposite 'sense' of the mRNA's, that is the strand that is used as a template for producing messenger RNA (mRNA) that directs the synthesis of a protein Reference "COM-Terminology Coordination, based on: - Dr. Sangita Pawa. 'Common Terms in Molecular Biology' (17.11.2020). College of Medicine, University of Arizona- National Human Genome Research Institute. 'Antisense' (17.11.2020)"
- Comment When the RNA is transcribed, the ANTI-SENSE strand is used as the template for RNA polymerization. After all, the RNA must base-pair with its template strand, so the process of transcription produces the complement of the anti-sense strand. This introduces some confusion about terminology.
