Abstract
Throughout the process of oogenesis, spanning from flies to humans, germ cells undergo a remarkable transformation, transitioning from a mitotic to a meiotic cell cycle. This intricate journey involves highly specialized cellular processes and culminates in the establishment of a maternal contribution, which plays a crucial role in promoting proper embryogenesis. Despite the significance of these transitions, their regulatory mechanisms have remained largely elusive, until now.
