Have you ever wondered how new patterns of DNA methylation are established?
Paradigm shift ahead! We discovered a new mode of DNA methylation targeting in plants that relies on TFs and DNA motifs rather than chromatin marks to regulate the methylome

@GuanghuiXu1 Interested in learning even more?
Check out complementary work from Wu and Jacobsen revealing roles for a TF binding protein in this new mode of DNA methylation targeting. https://t.co/rtTcjV7UHK

[Keith Slotkin @Slotkin_Lab]

So proud of my lab for our latest work out today in @Naturepub. We took advantage of transposable elements and CRISPR to perform targeted insertion of cargo DNA in the Arabidopsis and soy genomes. Led by @mcliupeng. https://t.co/wSvr1uuEbF. 🧵

[Keith Slotkin @Slotkin_Lab]

The @Slotkin_lab @DanforthCenter is hiring a new laboratory technician. Lots of cool work to be done on transposable elements! Please retweet to spread the word! https://t.co/33KiNk4PeG
