DEFINITION

Classification: 800/286

The RNA is antisense:

(under subclass 285) Method wherein the RNA molecule is transcribed in the reverse direction from its natural direction of transcription.

(1) Note. Antisense RNA is complementary to a target gene's mRNA thereby allowing it to base-pair with the mRNA, preventing translation of the mRNA into protein.
