Extended Data Fig. 8. Relationship between RNA expression, translation and protein abundance across embryonic stages.

Extended Data Fig. 8

a, Venn diagram of the overlap between the sets of transcripts that are reduced in RNA abundance or translational efficiency upon fertilization (MII-oocyte to the zygote transition). b, The mean poly(A) tail length and translation efficiency was calculated using data from 2-cell stage embryos (n = 3 Ribo-ITP; n = 4 RNA-Seq; see Methods). The boxes correspond to interquartile range and the horizontal lines indicate the median. c, Mean translation efficiency and its 90% confidence interval are plotted for PABPC1 along with its mean poly(A) length in 1-cell (n = 5 Ribo-ITP; n = 4 RNA-Seq) and 2-cell embryos. d,e,f, Pairwise correlation between protein abundance and d, RNA expression or e, Ribosome occupancy or f, Translation efficiency. Spearman correlation coefficient with Spearman’s correction is reported inside the heatmaps. g,h, Sankey diagrams depict the relationships between translation efficiency and protein abundance. The color and the thickness of the paths connecting the nodes are proportional to the correlation coefficient.
