The study of epigenetics in plants has a long and rich history, from initial descriptions of non-
Mendelian gene behaviors to seminal discoveries of chromatin-modifying proteins and …

Mitochondria play key roles in activating apoptosis in mammalian cells. Bcl-2 family
members regulate the release of proteins from the space between the mitochondrial inner …

Nucleosome remodelers of the DDM1/Lsh family are required for DNA methylation of
transposable elements, but the reason for this is unknown. How DDM1 interacts with other …

Natural epigenetic variation provides a source for the generation of phenotypic diversity, but
to understand its contribution to such diversity, its interaction with genetic variation requires …

DNA methylation is an epigenetic modification required for transposable element (TE)
silencing, genome stability, and genomic imprinting. Although DNA methylation has been …

▪ Abstract Large-genome eukaryotes use heritable cytosine methylation to silence
promoters, especially those associated with transposons and imprinted genes. Cytosine …

Cytosine methylation, a common form of DNA modification that antagonizes transcription, is
found at transposons and repeats in vertebrates, plants and fungi. Here we have mapped …

Active DNA demethylation is involved in many vital developmental and physiological
processes of plants and animals. Recent genetic and biochemical studies in Arabidopsis …

Epigenetic marking systems confer stability of gene expression during mammalian
development. Genome-wide epigenetic reprogramming occurs at stages when …

DNA methylation has two essential roles in plants and animals—defending the genome
against transposons and regulating gene expression. Recent experiments in Arabidopsis …
