Translatome

The translatome is composed of all mRNA fragments that are translated in a moment or condition in a single cell. Usually, the ribosome profiling technique is used to acquire the translatome information.[1] Other methods are polysome profiling, full-length translating mRNA profiling (RNC-seq), and translating ribosome affinity purification (TRAP-seq).[2]

Unlike the transcriptome, the translatome is a more accurate approximation for estimating the expression level of some genes, since the correlation between the proteome and translatome is higher than the correlation between the transcriptome and proteome.[3]
