Meiotic maturation of oocytes and early development of mammalian embryos is largely dependent on the translation of mRNAs stored in the oocyte. Here the authors uncover a population of mRNA retained in the oocyte nucleus whose translation is spatially and temporally regulated by the mTOR–eIF4F pathway during meiosis.
