1. relating to or denoting a strand of DNA or RNA that is complementary to a coding strand
Usage: molecular biology

1. an antisense strand of DNA or RNA
Usage: molecular biology

Examples

• The antisense strand serves as the template for transcription.
• Researchers used antisense technology to block gene expression.
• The antisense RNA binds to the target mRNA sequence.
• Scientists developed antisense oligonucleotides as potential therapies.
• The antisense approach can silence specific genes.
• Antisense DNA runs in the opposite direction to the coding strand.
