Explanation:
In the context of Bioinformatics, the term "transcriptome" refers to the complete set of messenger RNA (mRNA) molecules that are transcribed from the DNA of an organism's genome. The transcriptome represents all the RNA molecules that are actively being expressed in a particular cell, tissue, or organism at a given time. It provides valuable insights into gene expression patterns, alternative splicing events, and the overall functioning of the genome.
