Rationale for change

the template/anticoding/negative sense strand is a DNA strand

Like DNA, this RNA cannot be translated into protein directly. Instead, it must first be transcribed into a positive-sense RNA which acts as an mRNA.


The coding (sense) strand is the DNA strand that complements the noncoding DNA strand and therefore has the same sequence and directionality as the newly synthesized mRNA (have to switch T with U, though).

The noncoding (antisense/template) strand is the DNA strand that is read by RNA Polymerase II to create mRNA. Therefore, the sequence of the noncoding strand in the 5' to 3' direction is complementary to the mRNA transcript read in the 3' to 5' direction (swapping U for T).
