A-MYB and BRDT-dependent RNA Polymerase II pause release orchestrates transcriptional regulation in mammalian meiosis

During spermatogenic meiosis, chromatin changes due to transcription, homologous recombination, and chromosome synapsis must be coordinated. Here they show that A-MYC and BRDT regulate release of paused RNA PolII to induce a transcriptional burst during pachytene of prophase I.
