the same sequence as the transcribed mRNA (given U in RNA and T in DNA) and containing the linear array of codons which interact with anticodons of tRNA during translation to give the primary sequence of a protein. Compare with anticoding strand.
Non-coding strand
Anti-sense strand that does not code for a protein.

Coding strand Within a gene, this is the DNA strand which has the same sequence of bases as the primary transcript (with the substitution of T for U obviously). It is also called the sense strand.
Coding strand The strand of DNA that has the same sequence as the RNA transcript except it contains thymine (T) in place of uracil (U).
Codon Nucleotide triplet in mrna that encodes for a particular amino acid.
Coding strand: an ambiguous term intended to refer to one specific strand in a double-stranded gene. See "Sense strand".
...
The antisense is the non-coding strand, but ironically, when you're making RNA, the proteins that are involved in making RNA read the antisense strand in order to create a sense strand for the mRNA.
One strand of DNA, the template strand (or non-coding strand), is used as a template for RNA synthesis.
The noncoding strand of the DNA double helix that serves as the template for mRNA synthesis.

It is customary in genetics to use strand for chromatid.
As the RNA polymerase travels through the strand that is opposite to the coding strand (the cell wants a copy of the coding strand, so it needs to copy that from the DNA that is the opposite of the coding strand), ...
Problem 9: Hybridization of mRNA with the DNA coding strand
mRNA will form hybrids only with the coding strand of DNA because:
A.

It is often referred to as the coding strand or the template strand. The other strand (the sense strand) is not used. Notice that the sense strand has the same base sequence as mRNA except that mRNA has U instead of T.
Additionally, there is a strong correlation between purine excess and coding strand excess, evidenced most remarkably by E. coli and Methanococcus jannaschii, an archaebacterium.
