Early programming of the oocyte epigenome temporally controls late prophase I transcription and chromatin remodelling

Meiotically arrested oocytes retain transcriptional ability despite chromosome condensation. Here, the authors show that Drosophilaoocytes regulate meiotic transcription and chromatin remodelling through the programming, in early oogenesis, of an extremely diversified epigenome.
