Evolution of sequence-specific anti-silencing systems in Arabidopsis

Eukaryotes often silence transposable elements (TEs) via DNA methylation. Here, the authors show that evolution of VANC, an Arabidopsis anti-silencing factor, and its target motifs allows sequence-specific demethylation, suggesting a way TEs can proliferate while minimizing damage to the host genome...
