Because of the complementary nature of base-pairing between nucleic acid polymers, a double-stranded DNA molecule will be composed of two strands with sequences...

was generated in transcription, while the anti-sense strand is the strand that is complementary to the sense sequence. Self-complementarity refers to...

polymerase moves along a strand of DNA, creating its complementary strand. The original strand is washed away, leaving only the reverse strand. At the top of the...

non-coding template strand, reads the anti-codons, and transcribes their sequence to synthesize an RNA transcript with complementary bases. By convention...

to create a new complementary strand. Because these enzymes can only work in the 5’ to 3’ direction, the two unwound template strands are replicated in...

begin a complementary strand. DNA polymerase adds nucleotides after binding to the RNA primer and synthesizes the whole strand. Later, the RNA strands must...

another strand (input). It is based on the hybridization of two complementary strands of DNA or RNA via Watson-Crick base pairing (A-T/U and C-G) and...

of two complementary strands. The double helix describes the appearance of a double-stranded DNA which is thus composed of two linear strands that run...

"sticky" or "blunt" based on the shape of the complementary strands at the terminus. In sticky ends, one strand is longer than the other (typically by at...

minor groove minus-strand See template strand. miRNA See microRNA. mismatch An incorrect pairing of nucleobases on complementary strands of DNA or RNA; i...

the complementary strands. Contrast single-strand break. double-stranded Composed of two antiparallel, complementary nucleic acid molecules or strands (either...

code in the 5′ to 3′ direction, and which is complementary to the antisense strand of DNA, or template strand, which does not carry the translatable code...

double-strand breaks (i.e. a break in both complementary strands of DNA). Single-strand breaks are repaired by DNA ligase using the complementary strand of...

synthesis of the new complementary polynucleotide of DNA. The DNA single-strand template serves to guide the synthesis of a complementary strand of DNA. DNA replication...

during which a complementary strand is built based on the sequence of a template strand. A microwell containing a template DNA strand to be sequenced...

for double-strand breaks. In MMEJ repair of a double-strand break, an homology of 5–25 complementary base pairs between both paired strands is sufficient...

non-complementary regions exist at the end of an otherwise complementary double-strand of DNA. However, branched DNA can occur if a third strand of DNA...

Polymerase translation of the second-strand cDNA. This prevents lost sequence information at the 5' end of the mRNA. Complementary DNA is often used in gene cloning...

(e.g. 5' to 3') on one strand is identical to the sequence in the same direction (e.g. 5' to 3') on the complementary strand. This definition of palindrome...

frames may be read from the other, complementary strand in the 5′→3′ direction along this strand. As the two strands of a double-stranded nucleic acid...

have been incorporated, thus showing how many complementary nucleotides are present on the template strand. The nucleotide mixture is removed before the...

a complementary language. During transcription, a DNA sequence is read by an RNA polymerase, which produces a complementary, antiparallel RNA strand called...

'fix' the change by incorporating a normal nitrogen base into the complementary strand. Thus 5-BrU induces a point mutation via base substitution. This...

genomes made of ribonucleic acid (RNA). They have genomes that act as complementary strands from which messenger RNA (mRNA) is synthesized by the viral enzyme...

rather than waiting for cell mediated synthesis of the second strand, the two complementary halves of scAAV will associate to form one double stranded DNA...

the invading DNA primes DNA synthesis, causing displacement of the complementary strand, which subsequently anneals to the single-stranded DNA generated...

edited strand to the complementary strand, permanently installing the edit. However, there are drawbacks to this system as nicking the unaltered strand can...

Therefore, this causes the new mRNA strand to become double stranded by producing a complementary strand known as the tRNA strand, which when combined are unable...

of the two complementary strands is required. Asymmetric PCR differs from regular PCR by the excessive amount of primers for a chosen strand. Due to the...

polymerases, which "reads" one strand of the double-helical DNA, known as the template strand, and synthesize a new complementary strand. Because the DNA double...
