[PDF][PDF] Evolutionary epigenomics of retrotransposon-mediated methylation spreading in rice

JY Choi, MD Purugganan - Molecular Biology and Evolution, 2018 - academic.oup.com
Plant genomes contain numerous transposable elements (TEs), and many hypotheses on
the evolutionary drivers that restrict TE activity have been postulated. Few models, however,
have focused on the evolutionary epigenomic interaction between the plant host and its TE.
The host genome recruits epigenetic factors, such as methylation, to silence TEs but
methylation can spread beyond the TE sequence and influence the expression of nearby
host genes. In this study, we investigated this epigenetic trade-off between TE and proximal …
