- adj. Of or relating to a nucleotide sequence that is complementary to a sequence of messenger RNA. When antisense DNA or RNA is added to a cell, it binds to a specific messenger RNA molecule and inactivates it.
Wiktionary
- n. genetics A molecule which interacts with a complementary strand of nucleic acids, so as to suppress its transcription.
Etymologies
