genetics, complementary DNA (cDNA) is DNA that was reverse transcribed (via reverse transcriptase) from an RNA (e.g., messenger RNA or microRNA). cDNA exists...

(ncRNAs). Both DNA and RNA are nucleic acids, which use base pairs of nucleotides as a complementary language. During transcription, a DNA sequence is read...

deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) or ribonucleic acid (RNA) molecules anneal to complementary DNA or RNA. Though a double-stranded DNA sequence is generally...

double helix formation. DNA strands are oriented in opposite directions, they are said to be antiparallel. A complementary strand of DNA or RNA may be constructed...

genome, and the newly synthesised DNA strands hybridizes to the complementary R region on the RNA. The complementary DNA (cDNA) added in (2) is further extended...

mRNA transcript. Because of the complementary nature of base-pairing between nucleic acid polymers, a double-stranded DNA molecule will be composed of two...

transcriptase—a DNA polymerase that synthesizes a complementary DNA based on existing strands of RNA in a PCR-like manner. Complementary DNA can then be processed...

complementary sequence of homopurine PNA oligomers. This triplex is formed from a PNA-DNA hybrid that binds anti-parallel with the complementary DNA sequence...

technology, next-gen sequencing of complementary DNA (cDNA), notably RNA-Seq. The general steps to prepare a complementary DNA (cDNA) library for sequencing are...

sugar of the next nucleotide, forming a sugar-phosphate backbone. DNA is a complementary, double stranded structure as specific base pairing (adenine and...
