Transcriptome of the dead: characterisation of immune genes and marker development from necropsy samples in a free-ranging marine mammal

<p>Abstract</p> <p>Background</p> <p>Transcriptomes are powerful resources, providing a window on the expressed portion of the genome that can be generated rapidly and at low cost for virtually any organism. However, because many genes have tissue-specific expression pa...
