RNA-seqDetection and quantitative analysis of messenger RNA molecules in a biological sample. RNA-seq allows description of the transcriptome, which is key to connect the information in a genome with its functional protein expression. |
three prime untranslated region (3′-UTR)Region of messenger RNA (mRNA) that immediately follows the translation termination codon. The 3′-UTR often contains regulatory regions that influence gene expression post-transcriptionally. |
transcription factor (TF)A protein that binds to a specific DNA sequence and regulates gene expression by promoting or suppressing transcription. Transcription factors bind to either promoter or enhancer regions adjacent to the genes that they regulate. |
transcriptomeThe set of all RNA transcripts, including coding and non-coding, in an individual or a population of cells. |
