Transcriptomic Signature

Meaning

A comprehensive molecular profile that quantifies the complete set of RNA transcripts, or the transcriptome, present in a specific cell, tissue, or organism at a given moment under particular physiological or pathological conditions. This signature provides a dynamic snapshot of gene expression, reflecting the genes that are actively being transcribed into RNA. In the hormonal health domain, analyzing this signature can reveal the downstream cellular effects of a hormone or the molecular drivers of endocrine-related diseases.
