https://www.genome.gov/13014330/transcriptome-fact-sheet/,
then address the following:
- Explain how the transcriptome helps us to better understand the differences between cells from different types of tissues that are specialized for different functions.
- What do you think is the most interesting or significant thing about the transcriptome?
