title: RNA-directed DNA methylation: getting a grip on mechanism.
abstract: Small RNAs guide repressive chromatin modifications to regions of the genome containing transposons and repeats. An Arabidopsis genetic screen reveals that the guidance machinery includes a novel ATPase complex that could act as a dynamic molecular gripper.
