Sense (molecular biology)
NATURE OF THE ROLES OF NUCLEIC ACID MOLECULES IN SPECIFYING AMINO ACIDS: DNA IS POSITIVE-SENSE IF AN RNA VERSION OF THE SAME SEQUENCE IS TRANSLATED OR TRANSLATABLE INTO PROTEIN, NEGATIVE-SENSE IF NOT
Antisense; Non-coding strand; Negative-sense RNA; Positive-sense RNA; DNA, antisense; Antisense elements (genetics); Positive sense; Positive-sense; Negative-sense; Negative sense; Ambisense; Positive-stranded; Anti-sense strand; Negative strand; Antisense DNA; Positive sense RNA
In molecular biology and genetics, the sense of a nucleic acid molecule, particularly of a strand of DNA or RNA, refers to the nature of the roles of the strand and its complement in specifying a sequence of amino acids. Depending on the context, sense may have slightly different meanings.
