Sense strand


Sense strand
The strand of DNA that has the same nucleotide sequence as the mRNA (except the DNA has T where the RNA has U residues). Check out the supplemental resources for a diagram.

[Examples] Selenocysteine Self-incompatibility in plants Semen Semicircular canals Sense strandThe strand of DNA whose 5' -> 3' sequence is the same (substituting T for U) as that of the corresponding mRNA molecule.

One strand of DNA (the anti-sense strand) is used as a template to produce a single strand of mRNA.

Molecular biologists call a sequence "sense" if it is translated or translatable, and they call its complement "antisense". It follows then, somewhat paradoxically, that the template for transcription is the antisense strand.
