Under crowded, nutrient-limiting conditions, growth in the marine chordate O. dioica arrests until favorable conditions return. We profiled translation genome-wide using ribosome profiling in O. dioica during growth arrest and growth arrest recovery. We found that initial recovery is independent of nutrient-responsive, trans-spliced genes, suggesting that animal density is the primary trigger for the resumption of development in this species. Overall design: Ribosome-protected RNA fragments and total RNA extracted from animals during growth arrest and half an hour after release from arrest in two biological replicates sequenced on two Illumina flow cells Less...
