Abstract
Epigenetic states are responsive to developmental and environmental signals, and as a consequence a eukaryotic cell can have many different epigenomes. In this issue of Cell, Lister et al. (2008) present the floral epigenome of Arabidopsis using next-generation sequencing technology to analyze both DNA methylation at single-base resolution and the expression of small RNAs.
