The paper identifies the NFYA-NURF axis as essential for maintaining accessible chromatin at poised meiotic promoters, which is required for meiotic entry in mice.

This study examines the evolutionary dynamics of pachytene piRNAs in mouse subspecies hybrids, showing that rapidly evolving piRNA genes can gain or lose mRNA targets in hybrids.

The paper identifies NFYA as a factor that promotes accessible chromatin at meiotic gene promoters in pre-meiotic germ cells, enabling timely meiotic entry in mice.

This study identifies how Toxoplasma gondii uses GRA effectors to manipulate host signaling and chromatin accessibility, promoting macrophage migration and parasite dissemination.
