Small pieces of RNA that can bind to specific molecules of RNA and block the cell’s ability to use the RNA to make a protein or work in other ways. Antisense RNA may be used to block the production of [..]

Small RNA molecule that base pairs with a complementary DNA or RNA sequence and affects its functioning. © 2005 by W. H. Freeman and Company. All rights reserved. Pierce, B. Genetics: A concep [..]

Antisense RNA is a single-stranded RNA that is complementary to a messenger RNA (mRNA) strand. For high density microarrays, we need to convert mRNA into complementary RNA (cRNA) because the oligonucl [..]

  An RNA sequence that is complementary to all or part of a functional mRNA molecule, to which it binds, blocking its translation. See

An RNA, with sequence complementary to a specific RNA transcript or mRNA, whose binding prevents processing of the transcript or translation of the mRNA. (Figure 11-46)

RNA molecules which hybridize to complementary sequences in either RNA or DNA altering the function of the latter. Endogenous antisense RNAs function as regulators of Gene Expression by a variety of m [..]

Small pieces of RNA that can bind to specific molecules of RNA and block the cell’s ability to use the RNA to make a protein or work in other ways. Antisense RNA may be used to block the production of proteins needed for cell growth. It is being studied in the treatment of many types of cancer.

<molecular biology> A complementary RNA sequence that binds to (and thus blocks the transcription of) a naturally-occuring (sense) messenger RNA molecule. These proteins can be used to selectively turn off production of certain proteins or block viral genetic instructions, by marking them for destruction by cellular enzymes, in order to preve [..]

RNA product of mic (mRNA-interfering complementary RNA) genes that regulates another gene by base pairing with and thus preventing translation from its mRNA.
