A typical microarray experiment involves the hybridization of an mRNA molecule to the DNA template from which it is originated. The transcription profiles have been used to understand the biology of tumor progression. Microarrays have been used widely to study the transcriptomes because they provide a cost-effective means of assessing and comparing mRNA levels for thousands of genes at once. Transcriptomes can be studied by using microarrays or through sequencing. Furthermore, by aligning the transcriptome of each cell type to the genome, it is possible to generate a comprehensive, genome-wide picture of the gene expression. Transcriptome data obtained from different types of cells can help researchers to gain a deeper understanding of what constitutes a specific cell type, how that type of cell normally functions, and how changes in the normal level of gene activity may reflect or contribute to disease. mRNA can be isolated from different tissues of an organism at various time intervals to be able to capture maximum number of genes expressed in an organism in one time. In order to study the transcriptome of an organism, complementary DNA (cDNA) is synthesized using mRNA as template. Therefore, as mRNA is further translated into proteins, transcriptome can be seen as precursor of proteome (set of proteins expressed by an organism). It refers to the set of RNA molecules such as messenger RNA (mRNA), transfer RNA (tRNA), ribosomal RNA (rRNA), and other noncoding RNA molecules that are present in cells. Transcriptome refers to the protein-coding part of an organism’s genome. Kaur, in Brenner's Encyclopedia of Genetics (Second Edition), 2013 Transcriptome Studies The EMOTE barcodes are part of the sequencing read, whereas the Illumina indices have been removed before the sequencing read is delivered to the customer. Note that an EMOTE barcode is not the same as the index (sometimes referred to as a “barcode”) used within the Illumina sequencing systems. A difference of two nucleotides prevents mistakenly assigning a sequencing read in the case of a single poorly called base (i.e., a sequencing mistake). We have found that a length of four nucleotides permits the design of a useful range of different EMOTE barcodes, while ensuring that each EMOTE barcode has at least two nucleotides different than all other EMOTE barcodes in the project. Each EMOTE barcode should obviously be unique however, the length can be chosen according to the project. The EMOTE barcode sequence serves to identify which RNA sample each individual sequencing read belongs to, even though the PCR products have been mixed together (see Sections 2.5, 3.5, and 4.5).

The advent of phenomics in which thousands of phenotypic time-course experiments are performed in a microtiter plate format allows a precise measure of such capacities. Together, these measures suggest both the health and capacity of the cell at a particular stage. Moreover, means of measuring the proteome continue to evolve, though the measures focus upon apoprotein rather than functional holoenzyme. In addition, metabolomics strives to also quantify the amount of each pathway intermediate in the cell. Other inventories of cellular content are also critical these include measurements of pathway end products such as nucleotides, amino acids, fatty acids, and cofactors, as well as the building blocks from which anabolic pathways originate. The transcriptome is but one measure of the cellular status. LaRossa, in Brenner's Encyclopedia of Genetics (Second Edition), 2013 Concluding Remarks
