DNA methylation either antagonizes or promotes Polycomb recruitment at transposable elements in Arabidopsis

Abstract Transposable elements (TEs) are usually silenced by DNA methylation and H3K9me2, but in the absence of DNA methylation they can instead acquire the Polycomb-associated mark H3K27me3. Here, we initially set out to test whether DNA methylation and H3K27me3 compete during T...
