Industry:Biotechnology
The strand of the DNA double helix that is actually transcribed. Also known as the antisense or template strand.
Industry:Biotechnology
The structure formed when a double-stranded DNA molecule containing an inverted repeat sequence is denatured and then allowed to re-anneal at low DNA concentrations. The repeated sequence permits the formation of a double-stranded region within each of the separated strands of the original molecule.
