Expression levels of genes that have an inserted methylated repeat or that overlap with methylated repeats. A Expression levels (log-normalized transcripts per million) of genes are shown. A strong silencing effect is shown for genes that contain a methylated repeat, both in germinated spores and during late infection. Genes that are near a methylated repeat (up to 500 bps) also show suppressed expression. B This gene silencing is more pronounced if a TE has a late wave sRNA mapping to it (TEssRNA+), both for young and old TEs
