  2. The New York Times Strands - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_New_York_Times_Strands

    Genre (s) Word game. Mode (s) Single-player. Strands is an online word game created by The New York Times. Released into beta in March 2024, Strands is a part of the New York Times Games library. Strands takes the form of a word search, with new puzzles released once every day. The original pitch for the game was created by Juliette Seive, and ...

  3. DNA - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/DNA

    RNA strands are created using DNA strands as a template in a process called transcription, where DNA bases are exchanged for their corresponding bases except in the case of thymine (T), for which RNA substitutes uracil (U). Under the genetic code, these RNA strands specify the sequence of amino acids within proteins in a process called translation.

  4. Beta sheet - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Beta_sheet

    The beta sheet ( β-sheet, also β-pleated sheet) is a common motif of the regular protein secondary structure. Beta sheets consist of beta strands ( β-strands) connected laterally by at least two or three backbone hydrogen bonds, forming a generally twisted, pleated sheet. A β-strand is a stretch of polypeptide chain typically 3 to 10 amino ...

  5. Strand swamp - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Strand_swamp

    A strand swamp or strand is a type of swamp in Florida that forms a linear drainage channel on flatlands. A forested wetland ecological habitat, strands occur on land areas with high water tables where the lack of slope prevents stream formation. Strands are more linear than the cypress dome swamps that form in more rounded depressions and are ...

  6. Sense (molecular biology) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sense_(molecular_biology)

    Sense (molecular biology) In molecular biology and genetics, the sense of a nucleic acid molecule, particularly of a strand of DNA or RNA, refers to the nature of the roles of the strand and its complement in specifying a sequence of amino acids. [citation needed] Depending on the context, sense may have slightly different meanings.

  7. Semiconservative replication - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Semiconservative_replication

    Semiconservative replication. Semiconservative replication describes the mechanism of DNA replication in all known cells. DNA replication occurs on multiple origins of replication along the DNA template strands. As the DNA double helix is unwound by helicase, replication occurs separately on each template strand in antiparallel directions.

  8. Coding strand - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coding_strand

    By convention, the coding strand is the strand used when displaying a DNA sequence. It is presented in the 5' to 3' direction . Wherever a gene exists on a DNA molecule, one strand is the coding strand (or sense strand ), and the other is the noncoding strand (also called the antisense strand, [3] anticoding strand, template strand or ...

  9. Sense strand - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sense_strand

    In genetics, a sense strand, or coding strand, is the segment within double-stranded DNA that carries the translatable code in the 5′ to 3′ direction, and which is complementary to the antisense strand of DNA, or template strand, which does not carry the translatable code in the 5′ to 3′ direction. [1] The sense strand is the strand of ...
