ATHILA family elements gain RDR6-dependent H3K9me2 in ddm1. H3K9me2 signal at transposable elements from multiple ATHILA families was analyzed in WT, ddm1, and ddm1rdr6 genotypes and correlated with previously published small RNA data (Creasey et al. 2014). RDR6-dependent gains in H3K9me2 colocalize with increased 21- to 22-nt siRNAs in ddm1. Plots depict transposable elements annotations scaled to 5 kb, as well as 2 kb upstream of and downstream from each feature. H3K9me2 ChIP data were normalized by H3, and small RNA data were normalized by counts per million.
