Abstract: DNA methylation has been associated with genes that are ‘silenced’ through their failure to be transcribed into RNA, so methylation is thought to be involved in silencing. But the identification in plants of a protein that silences foreign genes without affecting their methylation suggests that the two processes can be separated.
