Watson_strand    (CURRENT_RELEASE)

SO Accession: SO:0002262 (SOWiki)
Definition: An absolute reference to the strand. When a chromosome has p and q arms, the Watson strand is the strand whose 5'-end is on the short arm of the chromosome. Of note, the term 'plus strand' is typically based on a reference sequence where it's preferred for the plus strand to be the Watson strand, but might not be and 'plus strand' is therefore not an exact synonym.
Synonyms: Forward strand, Top strand, Watson strand, Plus strand
