Hatched and starved: Two chromatin compaction mechanisms join forces to silence germ cell genome

Animals evolved in environments with variable nutrient availability and one form of adaptation is the delay of reproduction in food shortage conditions. Belew et al. (2021. J. Cell Biol. https://doi.org/10.1083/jcb.202009197) report that in the nematode C. elegans, starvation-induced transcriptional...

Cell Biol. https://doi.org/10.1083/jcb.202009197) report that in the nematode C. elegans, starvation-induced transcriptional quiescence in germ cells is achieved through a pathway that combines two well-known chromatin compaction mechanisms.
