Common alleles of CMT2 and NRPE1 are major determinants of CHH methylation variation in Arabidopsis thaliana.
DNA cytosine methylation is an epigenetic mark associated with silencing of transposable elements (TEs) and heterochromatin formation. In plants, it occurs in three sequence contexts: CG, CHG, and CHH (where H is A, T, or C). The latter does not allow direct inheritance of methylation during DNA rep...
