1997 V. E. Velculescu et al. in Cell 88 243/1 The phenotype of an organism is largely determined by the genes expressed within it. These expressed genes can be represented by a ‘transcriptome’ conveying the identity of each expressed gene and its level of expression for a defined population of cells. Unlike the genome, which is essentially a static entity, the transcriptome can be modulated by both external and internal factors.
2006 Proc. National Acad. Sci. U.S.A. 103 14027/1 The oocyte transcriptome and its functional significance in the human are relatively unknown.
2012 D. P. Clark & N. J. Pazdernik Molecular Biol. (ed. 2) xix. 601 (caption) The entire transcriptome can be identified by sequencing a cDNA library in its entirety.
