==The Complexity of the Transcriptome==
Molecular biologists originally believed that only one strand (the "sense" strand) of the DNA molecule contains information that is [[Transcription|transcribed]] into
[[RNA]]. The other, "antisense" strand, was expected to function only in [[DNA replication]]. However, ENCODE project and [[FANTOM]] consortium showed that this expectation has not come true and that RNAs are transcribed from both strands of DNA, while the "antisense" strand is a ''major'' component of transcriptome.<ref name="Wells:Myth"/>
