TRANSCRIPTOMICS
Hi Folks!! Follow our blog on Instagram Introduction to Transcriptomics The transcriptome represents all RNA molecules, including messenger RNA (mRNA), ribosomal RNA (rRNA), transfer RNA (tRNA), and non-coding RNA, within a cell or a population of cells at a particular time. Unlike DNA, which remains relatively stable, RNA levels vary significantly between cells and across different conditions, reflecting the dynamic nature of gene expression. Transcriptomics provides insights into how genes are turned on or off, how cells respond to external stimuli, and how different cell types or tissues function. Studying transcriptomics has become essential in various areas such as developmental biology, cancer research, neuroscience, and immunology. Scientists can understand gene regulation, cellular differentiation, and disease mechanisms by investigating RNA transcripts. Transcriptomics Techniques 1. Microarrays Microarrays were one of the first high-throughput technologies for analyzing gene
