Rudolf Fehrmann, Lude Franke and colleagues report a method for capturing the variation present within mammalian transcriptomes in a limited number of 'transcriptional components' and demonstrate widespread correlation between gene copy number and expression levels. The method allows for the inference of candidate gene function and the identification of potential therapeutic targets in cancer.
