text: Eukaryotic cytosine methylation represses transcription but also occurs in
the bodies of active genes, and the extent of methylation biology conservation
is unclear. We quantified DNA methylation in 17 eukaryotic genomes and found that
gene body methylation is conserved between plants and animals, whereas selective
methylation of transposons is not. We show that methylation of plant transposons
in the CHG context extends to green algae and that exclusion of histone H2A.Z
from methylated DNA is conserved between plants and animals, and we present evidence
for RNA-directed DNA methylation of fungal genes. Our data demonstrate that extant
DNA methylation systems are mosaics of conserved and derived features, and indicate
that gene body methylation is an ancient property of eukaryotic genomes.
