TL;DR: The sequence of the maize genome reveals it to be the most complex genome known to date and the correlation of methylation-poor regions with Mu transposon insertions and recombination and how uneven gene losses between duplicated regions were involved in returning an ancient allotetraploid to a genetically diploid state is reported.
Journal ArticleDOI
Regulation of heterochromatic silencing and histone H3 lysine-9 methylation by RNAi.

TL;DR: It is proposed that double-stranded RNA arising from centromeric repeats targets formation and maintenance of heterochromatin through RNAi.
Journal ArticleDOI
Transposable elements and the epigenetic regulation of the genome.
TL;DR: New insights have been gained into how silencing in eukaryotic cells has been co-opted to serve essential functions in 'host' cells, highlighting the importance of TEs in the epigenetic regulation of the genome.
Journal ArticleDOI
Transgenerational Epigenetic Inheritance: myths and mechanisms
TL;DR: Although the inheritance of epigenetic characters can certainly occur-particularly in plants-how much is due to the environment and the extent to which it happens in humans remain unclear.
Journal ArticleDOI
Role of transposable elements in heterochromatin and epigenetic control

TL;DR: Using microarray analysis, it is shown that heterochromatin in Arabidopsis is determined by transposable elements and related tandem repeats, under the control of the chromatin remodelling ATPase DDM1 (Decrease in DNA Methylation 1).
