Antisense RNA
Antisense RNA, also referred to as antisense transcript, natural antisense transcript (NAT) or antisense oligonucleotide, is a individual stranded RNA that is complementary to a protein coding messenger RNA (mRNA) with which it hybridizes, and therefor blocks its translation into protein. Its sequence of nucleotides is called "sense" because it results in a gene product (protein)
