Specific Tandem Repeats Are Sufficient for Paramutation-Induced Trans-Generational Silencing
Paramutation is a well-studied epigenetic phenomenon in which trans communication between two different alleles leads to meiotically heritable transcriptional silencing of one of the alleles. Paramutation at the b1 locus involves RNA-mediated transcriptional silencing and requires specific tandem re...
