Identify the coding and non-coding strand of the DNA in 5'-aatatgactaaagctggagcgtgtgggatgatctcgccc-3'?

Answer:

The top strand, which is drawn 5' to 3' and which contains the promoter sequences in the conventionally written orientation (such as the TATA box) and which has the same sequence as the new RNA (except for U instead of T) is the plus strand or the sense strand or the non template strand or the coding strand. The bottom 3' to 5' strand is the minus, or template, or antisense strand.

Your sequence therefore is the coding strand, but the RNA is transcribed off of the non-coding, template, or antisense strand.
