Q: In the context of the developments in Bioinformatics, the term transcriptome’, sometimes seen in the news, refers to
a) a range of enzymes used in genome editing b) the full range of mRNA molecules expressed by an organism c) the description of the mechanism of gene expression d) a mechanism of genetic mutations taking place in cell
The correct answer is Option 2
Bioinformatics
It refers to the application of computer technology to the management of biological information.
Transcriptome:
It is a collection or array of mRNA molecules made by a specific type of cell or tissue. Hence, Option 2 is correct.
A genome is a collection of all the DNA found in a somatic cell’s nucleus and mitochondria, and the transcriptome is the first thing that happens when a genome is expressed.
The transcriptome undergoes active change, in contrast to the genome, which is distinguished by its stability.
The transcriptome of an organism fluctuates depending on a variety of variables, including its stage of development and its environment.
