Full-length autonomous transposable elements are preferentially targeted by expression-dependent forms of RNA-directed DNA methylation
BACKGROUND: Chromatin modifications such as DNA methylation are targeted to transposable elements by small RNAs in a process termed RNA-directed DNA methylation (RdDM). In plants, canonical RdDM functions through RNA polymerase IV to reinforce pre-existing transposable element silencing. Recent inve...
