An Inverted Repeat Triggers Cytosine Methylation of Identical Sequences in Arabidopsis
Open accessAbstract
The Wassilewskija (WS) strain of Arabidopsis has four PAI genes at three sites: an inverted repeat at one locus plus singlet genes at two unlinked loci. These four genes are methylated over their regions of DNA identity. In contrast, the Columbia (Col) strain has three singlet PAI genes with no methylation. To test the hypothesis that the WS inverted repeat locus triggers methylation of unlinked identical sequences, we introduced this locus into the Col background by genetic crosses. The inverted repeat induced de novo methylation of all three unmethylated Col PAI genes, with methylation efficiency varying with the position of the target locus. These results, plus results with inverted repeat transgenes, show that methylation is communicated by a DNA/DNA pairing mechanism.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
