What is Transcriptome?

The transcriptome is the set of all messenger RNA (mRNA) molecules in one cell or a population of cells. It differs from the exome in that it includes only those RNA molecules found in a specified cell population, and usually includes the amount or concentration of each RNA molecule in addition to the molecular identities. Using DNA microarrays, we can measure transcriptomes of organisms. Also RNA-seq is used to measure transcriptomes.
