    Jimmy Wales and Michael Snow. | [Hide] [Help us with translations!] | DNA vaccine What is antisense technology? Antisense refers to opposing the normal order (“sense”) of the code in DNA. The DNA (deoxyribonucleic acid) in genes directs cells to assemble the proteins which comprise living creatures. The order of bases in DNA corresponds to the ordering of amino acids to form the proteins. To produce protein‚ the DNA of the genes in cells is first transcribed into a very similar molecule called
