Precise regulation of gene expression is indispensable for proper cell function. This challenge is particularly complex in oocytes where transcription is active during growth but is undetectable in fully grown oocytes and during meiotic maturation. Transcripts required to drive oocyte maturation and early post-fertilization embryogenesis are therefore synthesized in growing oocytes and kept translationally silent until the appropriate time. RNA processing mechanisms play central roles in regulating translation and are indispensable for timely and successful oogenesis. In Manuscript I, an RNA processing mechanism is described in the oocyte. Maternal transcripts are categorized according to their poly(A) tail length at different stages of ooc...
