Expression-dependent forms of RdDM regulate structurally autonomous and near-complete active LTR retrotransposons. a Ratio of observed/expected frequency heat map of each of the seven domains essential for LTR retrotransposition for each specific CHH methylation pathway. These data refer to the TE-active context only. b The RdDM categorization of LTR retrotransposons (excluding ONSEN elements) based on the number of domains essential for LTR retrotransposition listed in (a). Inset graph displays the total number of LTR retrotransposons in each category. c The change in RdDM categorization for individual ONSEN family TEs from the wt Col to ddm1 backgrounds. Each ONSEN element is represented twice, once as an open dot (wt Col background) and again as a closed dot (ddm1 background). Lines connecting an open dot to a closed dot represent shifts of individual ONSEN elements from one CHH methylation category to another upon switching to the ddm1 background
