| Abstract |
Noncoding RNAs are the rising stars of genome regulation and are crucial to an organism's metabolism, development, and defense. One of their most notable functions is its ability to direct epigenetic modifications through small RNA molecules to specific genomic regions, ensuring transcriptional regulation, proper genome organization, and maintenance of genome integrity. Here, we review the current knowledge of the spatial organization of the Arabidopsis thaliana RNA-directed DNA methylation pathway within the cell nucleus, which, while known to be essential for the proper establishment of epigenetic modifications, remains poorly understood. We will also discuss possible future cytological approaches that have the potential of unveiling functional insights into how small RNA-directed epigenetics is regulated through the spatiotemporal regulation of its major components within the cell. |

Attention Score in Context
This research output has an Altmetric Attention Score of 1. This is our high-level measure of the quality and quantity of online attention that it has received. This Attention Score, as well as the ranking and number of research outputs shown below, was calculated when the research output was last mentioned on 11 February 2015.
All research outputs
#18,398,261
of 22,789,076 outputs
Outputs from Chromosome Research
#400
of 507 outputs
Outputs of similar age
#163,101
of 226,411 outputs
Outputs of similar age from Chromosome Research
#7
of 11 outputs
Altmetric has tracked 22,789,076 research outputs across all sources so far. This one is in the 11th percentile – i.e., 11% of other outputs scored the same or lower than it.
So far Altmetric has tracked 507 research outputs from this source. They typically receive a little more attention than average, with a mean Attention Score of 5.5. This one is in the 10th percentile – i.e., 10% of its peers scored the same or lower than it.
Older research outputs will score higher simply because they've had more time to accumulate mentions. To account for age we can compare this Altmetric Attention Score to the 226,411 tracked outputs that were published within six weeks on either side of this one in any source. This one is in the 15th percentile – i.e., 15% of its contemporaries scored the same or lower than it.
We're also able to compare this research output to 11 others from the same source and published within six weeks on either side of this one. This one is in the 27th percentile – i.e., 27% of its contemporaries scored the same or lower than it.
