Free poster on the transcriptome at Nature Reviews Genetics

Nature Reviews Genetics presents a free poster, 'The pervasive and interlinked transcriptome', in its November 2009 issue. Our knowledge of the eukaryotic transcriptome is being transformed as we come to realize that the proportion of the genome that is transcribed is far greater than expected. New insights into the diversity of transcriptional products are rapidly emerging. Technological advances, such as RNA deep sequencing, are driving an increased knowledge of how transcripts are encoded in intricate and overlapping ways and are processed into myriad RNAs.
Using snapshots at different levels of resolution – from chromosomes down to a few nucleotides – this poster provides a window into the layers of complexity and introduces transcriptional phenomena and types of RNA that are key topics in current research.
