Using CG methylation (mCG) of heterochromatic transposons as a trait for GWAS, we identified a major genetic association to an uncharacterized gene: a plant ortholog of vertebrate CDCA7.

Have you ever wondered how new DNA methylation patterns are established?
Paradigm shift ahead! We discovered a new mode of DNA methylation targeting in plants that relies on transcription factors and sequence motifs rather than chromatin modifications to regulate the methylome. rdcu.be/eQ6L5

Salk researchers are using a little flowering plant to answer the question: How do cells generate new epigenetic change? The answer marks a major shift in plant biology and may inform future epigenetic engineering strategies with medical and agricultural applications.

Epigenetic changes regulate gene expression, but what regulates epigenetics? - Salk Institute for Biological Studies
LA JOLLA—All the cells in an organism have the exact same genetic sequence. What differs across cell types is their epigenetics—meticulously placed chemical tags that influence which genes are express...
