| sense strand |
the strand of a double-stranded nucleic acid that encodes the product; in DNA it is the strand that encodes the RNA, having thus the same base sequence except changing T for U in the RNA. Called also coding s. Cf. antisense s.

| sense strand |
The DNA strand of a gene that is complementary in sequence to the template (antisense) strand, and identical to the transcribed mRNA sequence (except that DNA contains T where RNA has U). Gene sequences found in databases are always of the sense strand, in the 5' to 3' direction.

| sense strand |
Most genetic material, both DNA and RNA, appears as two chains or strands of nucleotides wound together into a double helix - the common picture of DNA. Each nucleotide - A, T, C and G - has an attractive opposite (A attracts T, C attracts G). As a result, one strand, the "sense" strand, contains the information (for example, ATG-AAA) and the other strand, the "antisense" strand contains the opposite of this information (TAC-TTT - according to the pairing rules). ...
