(A and B) Survival after RNAi injection targeting GFP (control), CAHS, or SAHS transcripts in (A) hydrated and (B) dry Hypsibius dujardini specimens. Dots represent individual trials. N = 10 for each individual trial (30 total). t test: ns, not significant; *p < 0.01; **p < 0.001. RNA abundance fold change values given above each bar (e.g., 17×) indicate the increase in abundance in dry relative to hydrated conditions. Error bars, SD.
