Tree Number(s): D13.150.650; D13.444.600.150.760; D13.444.735.150; D27.720.470.530.600.150.760
Unique ID: D016372
RDF Unique Identifier: http://id.nlm.nih.gov/mesh/D016372
Scope Note: 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 mechanisms. Synthetic antisense RNAs are used to effect the functioning of specific genes for investigative or therapeutic purposes.
