Discovering multiple transcripts of human hepatocytes using massively parallel signature sequencing (MPSS)

Abstract excerpt

BACKGROUND: The liver is the largest human internal organ--it is composed of multiple cell types and plays a vital role in fulfilling the body's metabolic needs and maintaining homeostasis. Of these cell types the hepatocytes, which account for three-quarters of the liver's volume, perform its main functions. To discover the molecular basis of hepatocyte function, we employed Massively Parallel Signature...
