RNA-directed DNA methylation enforces boundaries between heterochromatin and euchromatin in the maize genome

The maize genome is relatively large (∼2.3 Gb) and has a complex organization of interspersed genes and transposable elements, which necessitates frequent boundaries between different types of chromatin. The examination of maize genes and conserved noncoding sequences revealed that many of these are...
