This study sheds light on an alternative mode of Transposable Element silencing associated with H3K27me3 instead of DNA methylation in flowering plants; it also indicates dynamic switching between the two epigenetic marks at the species level, a new paradigm that might extend to other multicellular eukaryotes

Chromosomes in humans and other mammals are subdivided into “functional neighborhoods” that guide the fidelity of biological processes, including gene regulation and DNA repair. Perturbations of these neighborhoods, resulting in the fusion of adjacent domains, can lead to a variety of diseases, including cancer and developmental disorders.

The I2BC is concerned by the future of scientists in the United States, with whom its teams collaborate closely.
The I2BC stands in solidarity with the Stand Up For Science movement and all scientists working in the USA, where academic freedom is currently being called into question.
The I2BC wishes to recall the importance of science and progress in today’s world, where we are faced with numerous societal challenges and crises.
