Spreading of heterochromatin is limited to specific families of maize retrotransposons.

Spreading of heterochromatin is limited to specific families of maize retrotransposons.

Transposable elements (TEs) have the potential to act as controlling elements to influence the expression of genes and are often subject to heterochromatic silencing. The current paradigm suggests that heterochromatic silencing can spread beyond the borders of TEs and influence the chromatin state o...
