RUNX1 maintains the identity of the fetal ovary through an interplay with FOXL2

Proper ovarian differentiation requires RUNX1. Here, the authors show that double knockout of Runx1/Foxl2 results in masculinization of fetal ovaries, and that RUNX1 and FOXL2 jointly occupy common chromatin regions to maintain pre-granulosa cell identity in the fetal ovary.
