Dynamic changes in components of the chromatin during oocyte maturation due to contrasting patterns of components translation. Schematic representation of the components of the nucleosome, cohesins, and the chromatin switch/sucrose non-fermentable (SWI/SNF) complex are reported on top. The lower panel reports the level of mRNAs bound to polysomes for the above components as well as additional chromatin remodelers thought to function at the maternal to zygote transition. The data are derived from deposited data (GEO dataset Accession: GSE35106 ID:200 035 106).
