MeSH definition : 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.;
MeSH synonym : anti-sense dna; antisense dna; anti sense dna; dna, anti-sense;
