Convergent transcription induces dynamic DNA methylation at disiRNA loci.

PLoS genetics - 1 Jan 2013

Dang Yunkun, Li Liande, Guo Wei, Xue Zhihong, Liu Yi

Abstract excerpt

Cytosine methylation of DNA is an important epigenetic gene silencing mechanism in plants, fungi, and animals. In the filamentous fungus Neurospora crassa, nearly all known DNA methylations occur in transposon relics and repetitive sequences, and DNA methylation does not depend on the canonical RNAi pathway. disiRNAs are Dicer-independent small non-coding RNAs that arise from gene-rich part of the Neurospora...
