what is the difference between exome and transcriptome ? how does their assembly differ ?
-
-
is it transcriptome is always time specific whereas exome is whole rna count irrespective of the time? -
The transcriptome consists of all that is transcribed, ie all RNA species including mRNA, miRNA, tRNA, lncRNA, etc. It is usually studied through samples of RNA. You can get the basic idea by reading this: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Transcriptome
The exome refers to the protein coding portion of the genome. It is usually studied through samples of DNA. I'd recommend reading this article for an example of exome sequencing and its applications: http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/arti...1/?tool=pubmedComment

NGS has revolutionized clinical microbiology by offering new ways to identify and surveil pathogens without prior knowledge of the target. One popular approach is 16S rRNA and ITS amplicon sequencing, which targets specific microbial markers. But studies are increasingly incorporating shotgun metagenomics, a technique that sequences all DNA from a sample without targeting specific microbial markers. This approach allows more detailed taxonomic classification,...10-30-2026, 06:46 AM -
Tumors contain complex mixtures of cell populations that evolve in response to treatment and host-specific factors. Tissue biopsies provide only static snapshots of a tumor’s state. But what if we could follow that evolution over time using a minimally invasive technique?
Liquid biopsies can detect tumor-derived material circulating in the bloodstream, providing a way to study treatment response, detect emerging resistance, and discover new biomarkers. Circulating...10-14-2026, 09:55 AM
