antisense
Blocks gene expression
Antisense describes a strand of genetic material—DNA or RNA—that has a sequence complementary to a coding strand.
Antisense molecules can bind to their target and block gene expression, making them useful in research and therapy: antisense technology, antisense drugs.
The term contrasts with sense, which refers to the strand that carries genetic information.
