Questions tagged [transcriptome]
The set of all transcripts of a biological entity, e.g. the transcriptome of a single cell, of a tissue, of an organ, of an individual, of a species. Can also be used to refer to a subset of the transcriptome, e.g. the polyadenylated transcriptome, given that often experiments ignore the 99% of transcripts that are ribosomal RNAs.
