Structural, Functional and Evolutionary Characterization of Sense-Antisense Transcripts in Mammals Dickens, Charles (2010-07-14)Sense-antisense transcripts (SATs) are messenger RNA (mRNA) transcripts that have regions that are complementary to regions of other mRNA transcripts. SATs may play an influential role in the regulation of gene expression. ...
