Transcriptome
Videos
The transcriptome is the set of all RNA molecules in a cell or a population of cells. It includes all of the functional RNA molecules and all other transcripts that may arise by spurious transcription

Pseudogene
Videos
Pseudogenes are nonfunctional segments of DNA that resemble functional genes. Pseudogenes can be formed from both protein-coding genes and non-coding genes. In the case of protein-coding genes, most p

…of the functional RNA molecules and all other transcripts that may arise by spurious transcription or transcription of non-functional regions such as pseudogenes or virus fragments. A major goal of modern molecular biology is to determine which transcripts are functional and which ones are junk RNA. The term…
