Abstract excerpt
Methylation has often been correlated with transcriptional inhibition of genes transcribed by polymerase II, but its role on polymerase III genes is less well understood. Using the genomic sequencing technique, we have analysed the methylation pattern of the different 5S-rDNA arrays of the Arabidopsis genome. Every cytosine position within the 5S sequence is highly methylated whatever the context - CpG, CpNpG or...
