Transcriptional profiling is the process of analyzing the gene expression patterns in a cell, tissue, or organism. This involves measuring the levels of messenger RNA (mRNA) transcripts produced by different genes, which can provide valuable insights into the underlying biological processes and pathways involved in various physiological and pathological conditions. Transcriptional profiling has become an essential tool in the fields of genetics, molecular biology, and biotechnology, enabling researchers to study gene regulation, identify biomarkers, and understand the molecular mechanisms of diseases such as cancer, diabetes, and neurodegenerative disorders. This research area encompasses a wide range of techniques and technologies, including microarray analysis, RNA sequencing, and quantitative polymerase chain reaction (qPCR), all of which allow scientists to quantitatively measure gene expression levels and identify genes that are differentially regulated under different conditions.
