Description
Background: Silencing of transposable elements (TEs) is essential for maintaining genome stability. Plants use small RNAs (sRNAs) to direct DNA methylation to TEs (RNA-directed DNA methylation; RdDM). Similar mechanisms of epigenetic silencing in the fungal kingdom have remained elusive. Results: We use sRNA sequencing and methylation data to gain insight into epigenetics in the dikaryotic fungus Puccinia graminis f. sp. tritici (Pgt), which causes the devastating stem rust disease on wheat. We...[Show more]
