Transposons, but not genes, are methylated in maize. Genomic DNA was digested with McrBC during 0 min, 25 min, or 8 h, with or without Sss I methylase pretreatment. In genes for which two exons were tested, their relative location (5′ or 3′) is indicated. Genes can be found in the Maize-Targeted Mutagenesis (MTM, see Supplemental information, May et al. 2003)
