title = "Polycomb Group Proteins Regulate Chromatin Architecture in Mouse Oocytes and Early Embryos",
abstract = "In mammals, germ cells undergo a series of events to give rise to haploid gametes. The dynamics of meiotic chromatin architecture still remain poorly understood. By applying Hi-C to mouse oocytes, Du et al. reveal a unique Polycomb-regulated chromatin architecture, which adds a new perspective to the non-canonical oocyte epigenomes.",
