Explain how the transcriptome us better understand the difference between cells from different types of tissues specialized for different functions.

Transcriptome is sum total of all the mRNA expressed in an organism. It is known that every cell of different tissues have different gene expression. The difference in the expression is the reason behind variation of physical, biochemical and developmental factors of different cells belonging to dissimilar tissues.

Further Explanation:

Transcriptome is defined as a sum total of all the messenger RNA or mRNA present in an organism or a specific tissue. Majority of our cell genome is similar in all the tissues but the main difference is in the expression.

Transcripts are the intermediate product formed during the formation of a functional component of a tissue i.e. protein from a genetic code. Every cell belonging to different tissue has different physiological functions which makes the protein that is the functional element dissimilar.  

Analyzing transcriptome can help us to understand which genes are unregulated and which one is down regulated that will help us to understand which proteins are formed in which particular tissue. This information can help us to understand function of tissues and the cells.
