Article
The propagation of epigenetic marks has received a great deal of attention, yet the initiation of epigenetic silencing of a new transgene, virus, or transposable element (TE) remains enigmatic. The overlapping and simultaneous function of multiple silencing mechanisms has obscured this area of investigation. Here, we have revealed two broad mechani...
Article
In plant genomes the vast majority of transposable elements (TEs) are found in a transcriptionally silenced state that is epigenetically propagated from generation to generation. Although the mechanism of this maintenance of silencing has been well studied, it is now clear that the pathways responsible for maintaining TEs in a silenced state differ...
Article

Transposable elements (TEs) are mobile fragments of DNA that are repressed in both plant and animal genomes through the epigenetic inheritance of repressed chromatin and expression states. The epigenetic silencing of TEs in plants is mediated by a process of RNA-directed DNA methylation (RdDM). Two pathways of RdDM have been identified: Pol IV-RdDM...
