Abstract excerpt
The Arabidopsis DNA glycosylase/lyase ROS1 participates in active DNA demethylation by a base-excision pathway. ROS1 has been shown to be required for demethylating a transgene promoter. To determine the function of ROS1 in demethylating endogenous loci, we carried out bisulfite-sequencing analysis of several transposons and other genes in the ros1 mutant. In the wild-type, although CpG sites at the majority of...
