Entry term(s) ADN no codificante
Scope note: ADN que es complementario de la hebra codificante. (La hebra codificante tiene la misma secuencia que el ARNm transcrito. La hebra no codificante es la plantilla para la síntesis de mRNA.) transcripto. La cadena sin sentido es el molde para la síntesis del mRNA). Los ADN no codificantes sintéticos se utilizan para hibridar secuencias complementarias en ADN o ARN diana, para modificar el funcionamiento de genes específicos con fines de investigación o terapéuticos.

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.
