DNAs code has a code. Lol. Antisense is not the same thing as nonsense if theres a reason for it. DNA is usually read in the sense direction -- the direction that translates into a protein. The translation machinery can work in the opposite direction sometimes, though, producing an antisense RNA. Given our acquaintance with language, this would seem puzzling; what possible meaning could come from reading a paragraph backwards? Two recent papers show that cells can make sense out of antisense, by creating long noncoding RNA transcripts (lncRNAs) that act as switches. evolutionnews.org/2014/11/imagine_designi091011.html
