This study shows that H2A.Z levels act as a timer for the maternal-zygotic transition in Drosophila and zebrafish, influencing developmental timing through both nuclear and non-nuclear mechanisms.

The paper investigates how the nuclear to cytoplasmic ratio influences H3.3 incorporation during zygotic genome activation in Drosophila by analyzing cell cycle state and chaperone binding.

The paper visualizes nuclear morphology and transport machinery in Drosophila during development, finding dynamic changes in NPC abundance and transport receptor puncta.
