We use the published eQTL map to assess whether the eSNPs associated with DE genes are directly associated with HT in an independent data set; this suggests the mediating role of the transcriptome in the genotype-phenotype association.
Academic text (2017) -
We found that bSCs and dSCs are distinct cell populations with different transcriptomes and repair features, indicating that the microenvironment is a key regulator of the dedifferentiation program.
Academic text (2017) -
The ability to carry out RNA-seq on minute numbers of cells purified from the in vivo nerve enabled us to compare the transcriptomes and ES modules of distal and bridge cells.

Researchers often analyze the transcriptome to understand gene expression at a specific stage of development.

Morphology
transcriptome = transcript (semi-transparent) = transcript + ome
Formed from 'transcript' + the technical suffix '-ome' meaning 'the complete set of', so the relation is clear but '-ome' is specialized and may be unfamiliar to general learners.
Etymology
Transcriptome is made of three parts: trans- ('across' or 'through'), script ('write'), and -ome ('a complete set'), like in genome. So a transcriptome is the full 'written' set of RNA messages copied from genes in a cell at one time.
