Evolutionary and Experimental Loss of Gene Body Methylation and Its Consequence to Gene Expression

In flowering plants, gene body methylation (gbM) is associated with a subset of constitutively expressed genes. It has been proposed that gbM modulates gene expression. Here, we show that there are no consistent and direct differences to expression following the loss of gbM. By comparing expression...
