Abstract
The practical definition of a transcriptomeis the entire population of mRNAs from a defined source, such as a cell, cells, tissue, or an organism. The population structure, the species of mRNA and their abundance in a transcriptome, varies widely depending on the source. This variation is thought to reflect phenotypic differences between sources. Therefore, the population structure is crucial to understanding the information in the transcriptome data.
