| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
The genomes of vertebrates and plants contain a substantial number of transposable elements (TEs), which are silenced by repressive epigenetic modifications, such as cytosine methylation. Using Arabidopsis DNA hypermethylation mtants, we found that removal of H3K9 methylation and non-CG methylation at transcribed genic regions is affected by epigenetic regulation of H3K9 demethylase gene.
