Epigenetic regulation of spurious transcription initiation in Arabidopsis

Epigenetic regulation can silence transposons and maintain gene expression. Here the authors survey Arabidopsis mutants defective in epigenetic regulation and show ectopic activation of thousands of cryptic TSSs and altered expression of nearby genes demonstrating the importance of suppressing spuri...
