Transcriptome analysis

Transcriptome analysis is a process that examines all the RNA molecules produced in a cell or tissue at a given time. Since RNA reflects which genes are active, this method helps scientists understand how cells function, respond to their environment, or change under different conditions. By comparing RNA profiles, researchers can identify patterns related to health, disease, or development, providing insights into cellular processes and guiding medical or biological research. Essentially, it's a way to capture a snapshot of gene activity within a person or organism.
