Journal ArticleDOI

A genomic code for nucleosome positioning

TL;DR: This work isolated nucleosome-bound sequences at high resolution from yeast and used these sequences in a new computational approach to construct and validate experimentally a nucleosom–DNA interaction model, and to predict the genome-wide organization of nucleosomes.
Journal ArticleDOI

A map of nucleosome positions in yeast at base-pair resolution

TL;DR: The resulting map locates nucleosomes positions genome-wide in unprecedented detail and accuracy and shows new aspects of the in vivo nucleosome organization that are linked to transcription factor binding, RNA polymerase pausing and the higher-order structure of the chromatin fibre.
Journal ArticleDOI

Insights into Nucleosome Organization in Mouse Embryonic Stem Cells through Chemical Mapping

TL;DR: An accurate method for defining the nucleosome landscape is established and it is shown that nucleosomes occupy DNA targets for a subset of DNA-binding proteins, including CCCTC-binding factor (CTCF) and pluripotency factors.
Journal ArticleDOI

Predicting nucleosome positioning using a duration Hidden Markov Model.

TL;DR: Simulation studies show that modeling the linker length distribution and utilizing a base composition re-scaling method both improve the prediction of nucleosome positioning regarding sensitivity and false discovery rate.
