coding strand The strand of a duplex DNA molecule that has the same nucleotide sequence as the mRNA (except that Ts appears in the DNA where Us appear in the corresponding RNA). The coding strand is antisense strand because it does not serve as the template for mRNA synthesis.
In areas of DNA where there is genetic information, a gene, one strand is the coding strand and the other is the non-coding strand. The coding strand is the non-template strand, i.e., it is not copied. The non-coding strand is actually the template. The copy of the template strand is read by ribosomes, which then produce a protein via translation. During transcription, we use the non-coding strand as our template because we want the protein to be complementary AND parallel copy of our gene.
