Protein production from mRNA is one of the fundamental molecular processes in a cell. Accurate genome-wide information on the levels of translation and ribosome distribution on mRNA can be gathered by carrying out ribosome footprinting, aka Ribo-seq. Herein, we present a detailed protocol describing the construction of parallel Ribo-seq and RNA-seq libraries from Arabidopsis seedlings treated with the plant hormone auxin. The improved protocol for ribosome footprint library generation can be easily adapted to analyzing the effects on translation of genetic perturbations and various abiotic and biotic factors to shed the much-needed light on translational regulation in plants.
