  2. Coding strand - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coding_strand

    When referring to DNA transcription, the coding strand (or informational strand [1] [2]) is the DNA strand whose base sequence is identical to the base sequence of the RNA transcript produced (although with thymine replaced by uracil). It is this strand which contains codons, while the non-coding strand contains anticodons.

  3. Coding region - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coding_region

    The coding region of a gene, also known as the coding DNA sequence (CDS), is the portion of a gene's DNA or RNA that codes for a protein. [1] Studying the length, composition, regulation, splicing, structures, and functions of coding regions compared to non-coding regions over different species and time periods can provide a significant amount of important information regarding gene ...

  4. Non-coding DNA - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Non-coding_DNA

    The nonfunctional DNA in bacterial genomes is mostly located in the intergenic fraction of non-coding DNA but in eukaryotic genomes it may also be found within introns. There are many examples of functional DNA elements in non-coding DNA, and it is erroneous to equate non-coding DNA with junk DNA.

  5. Transcription (biology) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Transcription_(biology)

    The non-template (sense) strand of DNA is called the coding strand, because its sequence is the same as the newly created RNA transcript (except for the substitution of uracil for thymine). This is the strand that is used by convention when presenting a DNA sequence. [4]

  6. Human genome - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Human_genome

    The total amount of coding DNA is about 1-2% of the genome. [20] [18] Many people divide the genome into coding and non-coding DNA based on the idea that coding DNA is the most important functional component of the genome. About 98-99% of the human genome is non-coding DNA.

  7. Sense strand - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sense_strand

    In genetics, a sense strand, or coding strand, is the segment within double-stranded DNA that carries the translatable 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 in the 5′ to 3′ direction. [1]

  8. DNA and RNA codon tables - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/DNA_and_RNA_codon_tables

    [2] [3] The mRNA sequence is determined by the sequence of genomic DNA. [4] In this context, the standard genetic code is referred to as translation table 1. [3] It can also be represented in a DNA codon table. The DNA codons in such tables occur on the sense DNA strand and are arranged in a 5 ′-to-3 ′ direction.

  9. Coding theory approaches to nucleic acid design - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coding_theory_approaches...

    DNA computing requires that the self-assembly of the oligonucleotide strands happen in such a way that hybridization should occur in a manner compatible with the goals of computation. The field of DNA computing was established in Leonard M. Adelman's seminal paper. [1] His work is significant for a number of reasons:
