title: The mother-to-child transition.
abstract: Recent genome-scale analyses have uncovered the magnitude of the changes in mRNA populations that occur during the maternal-to-zygotic transition in early Drosophila embryos as well as two of the key regulators of this process, SMAUG and bicoid stability factor (BSF).
