Talk:Sense strand

Function
I don't get it why you removed the function section — Preceding unsigned comment added by Knowledgeforever2 (talk • contribs) 11:54, 26 September 2012 (UTC)


 * The section read "It role is to appears during replication when the cell duplicate the DNA, one daughter gets the original template and the other get the sense or coding so it has to get the template by synthesize it from the with sense."
 * I don't think it's helpful to talk about sense and antisense in the context of DNA replication. Consider a eukaryotic chromosome before S phase:


 * 5' 3'
 * 3' 5'


 * When a cell containing this chromosome undergoes mitosis, one daughter cell will inherit the top strand and a new copy of the bottom strand. The other daughter cell will inherit the bottom strand and a new copy of the top strand.
 * On this chromosome, some genes will be running from left to right. With respect to such genes, the "top" strand is the sense strand.  But other genes will be running from right to left.  With respect to these genes, the "top" strand in the above diagram is the antisense strand.  Some parts of the chromosome are not associated with any gene, such as the telomeres, centromere, and other intergenic regions.  For these parts of the chromosome, the terms "sense" and "antisense" have no meaning.
 * A second issue is that strand synthesis does not occur in either daughter cell, but in the parent cell before cell division occurs. Each daughter cell actually inherits a complete double-stranded DNA molecule.

But professor (you have a Ph.D) I mean that in a specific gene the sense is just complementary for the antisense and it direct the sequence of the antisense in replication right. Im sorry for mistaking that the parent cell is the one who replicate the DNA thanks .m7 (talk) 03:28, 27 September 2012 (UTC)
 * I haven't finished my PhD yet, and in Australia "Professor" is only used for very senior academics.
 * It's true that the sense strand directs the synthesis of a new antisense strand, but it's also true that the antisense strand directs the synthesis of a new sense strand. "Sense" and "antisense" are irrelevant during DNA replication: every part of a DNA strand acts as a template for the synthesis of its complementary strand, be it sense, antisense, or intergenic.
 * Really, this whole article is unclear and in need of a complete re-write, but I regret I won't have time for that in the next few months at least. Adrian J. Hunter(talk•contribs) 03:14, 29 September 2012 (UTC)

Lacks encyclopedic tone
The article lacks encyclopedic tone and refers to the reader as "you". — Preceding unsigned comment added by 46.116.41.159 (talk) 18:14, 10 November 2017 (UTC)

why not just move this to sense(molecular_biology)?
the "sense(molecular_biology)" article has all the information in this article and more detail on the subject, so why is this article even here? can someone merge or "clean" the article? 73.243.250.179 (talk) 17:09, 27 December 2019 (UTC)
