Novel DNA methylation targets in Arabidopsis thaliana
The initiation of DNA methylation in Arobidopsis is controlled by the RNA-directed DNA methylation (RdDM) pathway that uses 24nt siRNAs to recruit the de novo methyltransferase DRM2 to the target site. The REPETITIVE PETUNIA SEQUENCE (RPS) acts as a hot spot for de novo methylation, in particular, h...
