Mu killer causes the heritable inactivation of the Mutator family of transposable elements in Zea mays.

Mutations in a number of genes responsible for the maintenance of transposon silencing have been reported. However, the initiation of epigenetic silencing of transposable elements is poorly characterized. Here, we report the identification of a single dominant locus, Mu killer (Muk), that acts to si...
