Transcriptional response refers to the changes in gene expression that occur in a cell in response to a specific stimulus or environmental cue. This area of research involves studying how external signals or stressors can influence the activity of specific genes, leading to alterations in protein production and ultimately affecting the function of the cell. By analyzing the transcriptional response, researchers can gain insights into how cells regulate and adapt to their environment, as well as identify potential targets for therapeutic interventions in various diseases. Techniques such as RNA sequencing and gene expression profiling are often used to study transcriptional responses at a genome-wide level.
