Repression of CHROMOMETHYLASE 3 prevents epigenetic collateral damage in Arabidopsis

Repression of CHROMOMETHYLASE 3 prevents epigenetic collateral damage in Arabidopsis

DNA methylation has evolved to silence mutagenic transposable elements (TEs) while typically avoiding the targeting of endogenous genes. Mechanisms that prevent DNA methyltransferases from ectopically methylating genes are expected to be of prime importance during periods of dynamic cell cycle activ...
