Task: Answer Verification
Input (English): Question: Are full-length autonomous transposable elements preferentially targeted by expression-dependent forms of RNA-directed DNA methylation?
Answer: Expression-dependent forms of RdDM function to critically target DNA methylation to full-length and transcriptionally active transposable elements, suggesting that these pathways are key to suppressing mobilization. This targeting specificity is initiated on the mRNA cleavage-level, yet manifested as chromatin-level silencing that in plants is epigenetically inherited from generation to generation.
Output (English): yes
