Entry terms

  • Anti Sense DNA
  • Anti-Sense DNA
  • Antisense DNA
  • DNA, Anti-Sense

Scope note

  • DNA that is complementary to the sense strand. (The sense strand has the same sequence as the mRNA transcript. The antisense strand is the template for mRNA synthesis.) Synthetic antisense DNAs are used to hybridize to complementary sequences in target RNAs or DNAs to effect the functioning of specific genes for investigative or therapeutic purposes.
