Alternative silencing states of transposable elements in Arabidopsis associated with H3K27me3 by Valentin Hure, Florence Piron-Prunier, Tamara Yehouessi, Clémentine Vitte, Aleksandra E. Kornienko, Gabrielle Adam, Magnus Nordborg, Angélique Déléris

“…Conclusions Our study sheds light on an alternative mode of TE silencing associated with H3K27me3 instead of DNA methylation in flowering plants. It also suggests dynamic switching between the two epigenetic marks at the species level, a new paradigm that might extend to other multicellular eukaryotes.…”
