What is Transcriptomics?
Transcriptomics is the study and analysis of the complete set of RNA transcripts that are produced by the genome under specific circumstances or in a specific cell using high-throughput methods, such as next-generation sequencing technologies. This includes all types of RNA such as mRNA, rRNA, tRNA, and other non-coding RNAs. The main purpose of transcriptomics is to understand the molecular-level changes that occur in an organism or cell type in response to various biological conditions and stimuli.

DIscussion
Based on the data obtained from THE HUMAN PROTEIN ATLAS, the expression cluster of SLC35A2 is in the breast glandular cells. Even though, the SLC35A2 has low cell type specificity, it’s relatively high expressed on the glandular epithelial cells. The glandular epithelial cells play an important role in secretion and absorption. They are mainly expressed at the surface of gastrointestinal tract, inner cavities of the respiratory system, and glandular organs.[1]
