Abstract excerpt
Transposable elements (TEs) and repetitive sequences are ubiquitously present in eukaryotic genomes which are in general epigenetically silenced by DNA methylation and/or histone 3 lysine 9 methylation (H3K9me). RNA-directed DNA methylation (RdDM) is the major pathway that initiates de novo DNA methylation in Arabidopsis and sets up a self-reinforcing silencing loop between DNA methylation and H3K9me. However, a...
