Genome annotation

The technique of linking biological information to genome sequences is termed genome annotation. Gene annotation is the method of identifying gene locations and coding sections. It helps us understand what these genes are doing in the body through establishing structural characteristics and linking them to the actions of various proteins.

Question

One of the most confusing aspects of determining the protein sequence that will be derived from a gene is keeping track of the polarity or directionality of each nucleotide sequence strand. Which DNA strand is identical to the mRNA transcript? Which DNA strand codes the RNA transcript?

Definition Definition A complex molecule that makes up a fundamental unit of a DNA or RNA molecule. Nucleotides are composed of a sugar, a nitrogenous base, and a phosphoric acid.
