Site-specific manipulation of Arabidopsis loci using CRISPR-Cas9 SunTag systems

Few approaches for targeted manipulation of the epigenome are available in plants. Here, the authors adapt the dCas9-SunTag system to engineer targeted gene activation and site-specific manipulation of DNA methylation in Arabidopsis.
