Paramutation: a trans-homolog interaction affecting heritable gene regulation.

Current opinion in plant biology - 1 Nov 2012

Hollick Jay B

Abstract excerpt

Paramutation describes both the process and results of trans-sensing between chromosomes that causes specific heritable changes in gene regulation. RNA molecules are implicated in mediating similar events in maize, mouse, and Drosophila. Changes in both small RNA profiles and cytosine methylation patterns in Arabidopsis hybrids represent a potential molecular equivalent to the interactions responsible for...
