==Analysis== A number of organism-specific transcriptome databases have been constructed and annotated to aid in the identification of genes that are differentially expressed in distinct cell populations. [[RNA-seq]] is emerging (2013) as the method of choice for measuring transcriptomes of organisms, though the older technique of [[DNA microarray]]s is still used.<ref name="biblio1" /> RNA-seq measures the transcription of a specific gene by converting long RNAs into a library of [[cDNA]] fragments. The cDNA fragments are then sequenced using high-throughput sequencing technology and aligned to a reference genome or transcriptome which is then used to create an expression profile of the genes.<ref name="biblio1" />
