Abstract

Blood transcriptomics measures the abundance of circulating leukocyte RNA on a genome-wide scale. Dimension reduction is an important analytic step which condenses the number of variables and permits to enhance the robustness of data analyses and functional interpretation. An approach consisting in the construction of modular repertoires based on differential co-expression observed across multiple biological states of a given system has been described before. In this report, a new blood transcriptome modular repertoire is presented based on an expended range of disease and physiological states (16 in total, encompassing 985 unique transcriptome profiles). The input datasets have been deposited in NCBI public repository, GEO. The composition of the set of 382 modules constituting the repertoire is shared, along with extensive functional annotations and a custom fingerprint visualization scheme. Finally, the similarities and differences between the blood transcriptome profiles of this wide range of biological states are presented and discussed
