Transcriptomics The Study Of RNA

Book By Hussan Ahmad Ks
•Transcriptomics, the study of RNA in any of its forms.
•The transcriptome is the complete set of transcripts in a cell and their quantity, for a specific developmental stage or physiological condition.
•The transcriptome is the set of all RNA molecules, including mRNA, rRNA, tRNA, and other non-coding RNA produced in one or a population of cells.
TRANSCRIPTOMICS AIMS
•To catalogue all species of transcripts, including mRNAs, noncoding RNAs and small RNAs.
•To determine the transcriptional structure of genes, in terms of their start sites, 5′ and 3′ ends, splicing patterns and other post-transcriptional modifications.
•To quantify the changing expression levels of each transcript during development and under different conditions.
