Topic: Antisense


  
  DNA - Facts, Information, and Encyclopedia Reference article
Molecular biologists call a sequence "sense" if it is translated or translatable, and they call its complement "antisense".
Certain sequences of their genomes do double duty, encoding one protein when read 5' to 3' along one strand, and a second protein when read in the opposite direction (still 5' to 3') along the other strand.
Topologists like to note that the juxtaposition of the 3′ end of one DNA strand beside the 5′ end of the other at both ends of a double-helical segment makes the arrangement a "crab canon".
