Ribosome profiling is a genome-wide approach to map the positions of ribosomes on messenger RNAs. The abundance of ribosome-protected fragments can be used within condition to compare relative translation activities between different transcripts and between distinct conditions for the same transcript. A unified and routine method is currently lacking, however, to normalize between conditions for differences in global translation levels. Here we describe experimental and computational methods to use an orthogonal species spike-in, or internal standard, to enable absolute comparisons of translation activity between conditions. This simple modification of standard ribosome profiling provides a robust approach for accurately interpreting the effects of diverse genetic, chemical, and environmental perturbations of translation.
