In Brief: In oocytes, chromatin structure is loosened during their growth, which seems to be essential for the establishment of competence to accomplish the maturation and further development after fertilization. This paper shows that a linker histone variant, H1foo, is involved in the formation of loosened chromatin structure in growing oocytes.
Abstract: During oogenesis, oocytes show a unique mode of division and gene expression patterns.
