The step-by-step approach used to identify new endocrine cell biomarkers. Schematic overview of the approach taken to mine for new endocrine cell biomarkers in the transcriptome of human islet preparations (n = 5) analysed by RNA sequencing12 under both control condition and following treatment with pro-inflammatory cytokines (IL-1β + IFN-γ). Enriched pancreatic islet specific transcripts were identified by comparing transcriptomes of human pancreatic islets against 16 different normal human tissues.
