The discovery and quantification of mRNA transcripts using short-read next-generation sequencing (NGS) data is a complicated task. There are far more alternative mRNA transcripts expressed by human genes than can be identified from NGS transcriptome data and various bioinformatic pipelines, while the numbers of annotated human protein-coding genes has gradually declined in recent years. It is essential to learn more about the thorough tissue expression profiles of alternative transcripts in order to obtain their molecular modulations and actual functional significance. In this report, we present a bioinformatic database for interrogating the representative tissue of human protein-coding transcripts. The database allows researchers to visually explore the top-ranked transcript expression profiles in particular tissue types. Most transcripts of protein-coding genes were found to have certain tissue expression patterns. This observation demonstrated that many alternative transcripts were particularly modulated in different cell types. This user-friendly tool visually represents transcript expression profiles in a tissue-specific manner. Identification of tissue specific protein-coding genes and transcripts is a substantial advance towards interpreting their biological functions and further functional genomics studies. |
