Transcriptomics

The field of transcriptomics seeks to understand all aspects of RNA (ribonucleic acid) biology. This encompasses knowledge about RNA sequences, structures, transcription, translation, and cellular functions. This article presents an overview of the evolution of transcriptomics driven by the emergence of new, ultrarapid macromolecular sequencing and other high-throughput technologies, and how this is influencing comprehension of biological and pathobiological systems.
