R-loop resolution promotes co-transcriptional chromatin silencing

Nascent non-coding RNA can mediate chromatin silencing, however mechanistically this process is poorly understood. Here the authors show that resolution of an R-loop during 3'-end processing of a plant antisense transcript recruits chromatin modifiers to promote chromatin silencing.
