In the context of the development in Bioinformatics, the term ‘Transcriptome’, sometimes seen in the news, refer to
- A range of enzymes used in genome editing
- The full range of mRNA molecules expressed by an organism
- The description of the mechanism of gene expression
- A mechanism of genetic mutations taking place in cells
Explanation
Option (b) is correct
- The term Transcriptome refers to the complete set of messenger RNA (mRNA) molecules that are transcribed from DNA in an organism, cell, or tissue at a specific time. It provides insights into which genes are actively being expressed and helps researchers understand the functional elements of the genome. Transcriptomics, the study of the transcriptome, is essential in fields like bioinformatics and molecular biology for understanding gene expression patterns, cellular functions, and responses to various conditions.
