In mammals and plants, cytosine DNA methylation is essential for the epigenetic repression of transposable elements and foreign DNA. In plants, DNA methylation is guided by small interfering RNAs (siRNAs) in a self-reinforcing cycle termed RNA-directed DNA methylation (RdDM). RdDM requires the specialized RNA polymerase V (Pol V), and the key unanswered question is how Pol V is first recruited to new target sites without pre-existing DNA methylation. We find that Pol V follows and is dependent o  ...[more]
