Abstract

Stentor coeruleus are giant single-celled ciliates that reach lengths of up to 1 mm. Because of their large size, these cells are easy to manipulate and they also possess the ability to heal wounds and regenerate. These properties are ideal for investigating subcellular pattern formation, as we can physically dissect the cells into anterior and posterior halves. We used half-cell RNA-sequencing to assay for changes in transcript skew along the cell's anterior posterior axis upon knocking down beta-tubulin, an important component of the microtubule cytoskeleton, and dynein intermediate chains, a component of the molecular motor.
