Combinatorial DNA methylation codes at repetitive elements
Kinetoplastids, such as Trypansoma brucei, are eukaryotes that likely separated from the main lineage at an exceptionally early point in evolution. Consequently, many aspects of kinetoplastid biology differ significantly from other eukaryotic model systems, including yeasts, plants, worms, flies and...

DNA methylation is an epigenetic mark associated with transposable element silencing and gene imprinting in flowering plants and mammals. In plants, imprinting occurs in the endosperm, which nourishes the embryo during seed development. We have profiled Arabidopsis DNA methylation genome-wide in the...

We have used repetitive elements, including retrotransposons, as model loci to address how and when heterochromatin forms during development. High throughput RNA-sequencing using a Nano-CAGE protocol throughout early embryogenesis revealed that the expression of repetitive elements is abundant in...

DNA double strand breaks (DSBs) in repetitive sequences are a potent source of genomic instability, due to the possibility of non-allelic homologous recombination (NAHR). Repetitive sequences are especially at risk during meiosis, when numerous programmed DSBs are introduced into the genome to initi...

DNA methylation and histone H3 lysine 9 trimethylation (H3K9me3) play important roles in silencing of genes and retroelements. However, a comprehensive comparison of genes and repetitive elements repressed by these pathways has not been reported. Here we show that in mouse embryonic stem cells (mESC...

Determining the genomic localization of chromatin features is an essential aspect of investigating gene expression control, and ChIP-Seq has long been the gold standard technique for interrogating chromatin landscapes. Recently, the development of alternative methods, such as CUT&Tag, have provided ...

One physiological function proposed for RNA interference (RNAi) is to constrain expression of repetitive elements and thereby reduce the incidence of retrotransposition. Consistent with this model is that inhibiting the RNAi pathway results in an increase in expression of repetitive elements in pre...
ORGANISM(S): Mus musculus 
ATRX is a member of the SWI2/SNF2 family of chromatin remodeling proteins and primarily functions at heterochromatic loci via its recognition of M-bM-^@M-^XrepressiveM-bM-^@M-^Y histone modifications (e.g., H3K9me3). Despite significant roles for ATRX during normal neural development, as well as its...
