Six high-resolution genome-wide maps of Saccharomyces cerevisiae nucleosome positions from multiple labs and detection platforms are compiled, and new insights are reported.
Abstract
Nucleosomes have position-specific functions in controlling gene expression. A complete systematic genome-wide reference map of absolute and relative nucleosome positions is needed to minimize potential confusion when referring to the function of individual nucleosomes (or nucleosome-free regions) across datasets. We compiled six high-resolution genome-wide maps of Saccharomyces cerevisiae nucleosome positions from multiple labs and detection platforms, and report new insights. Data downloads, reference position assignment software, queries, and a visualization browser are available online http://atlas.bx.psu.edu/.

FACT is recruited to the +1 nucleosome of transcribed genes and spreads in a Chd1-dependent manner

TL;DR: This work clarifies how FACT interacts with genes, suggests a processive mechanism for FACT function, and provides a framework to further dissect the molecular mechanisms of transcription-coupled histone chaperoning.
Journal ArticleDOI

Processing and analyzing ChIP-seq data: from short reads to regulatory interactions.

TL;DR: An overview of the better-established aspects of genome mapping and data normalization and the more recent progress in peak calling is described and popular follow-up analyses such as genomic feature categorization and motif search are provided.

The role of epigenetics and chromatin structure in transcriptional regulation in malaria parasites.

TL;DR: The mechanisms in P. falciparum that regulate chromatin structure, nucleosome landscape, the 3-dimensional structure of the genome and additional distinctive features created by parasite-specific genes and gene families are discussed.

FACT is recruited to the +1 nucleosome of transcribed genes and spreads in a Chd1-dependent manner.

TL;DR: In this paper, the histone chaperone FACT occupies transcribed regions where it plays prominent roles in maintaining chromatin integrity and preserving epigenetic information, but how it is targeted to transcribed region, remains unclear.

Crystal structure of the nucleosome core particle at 2.8 Å resolution

TL;DR: The X-ray crystal structure of the nucleosome core particle of chromatin shows in atomic detail how the histone protein octamer is assembled and how 146 base pairs of DNA are organized into a superhelix around it.

Twenty-Five Years of the Nucleosome, Fundamental Particle of the Eukaryote Chromosome

TL;DR: The chromatin field needs much more information about structure beyond the nucleosome, and there is insufficient evidence that acetylation actually causes chromatin unfolding, and functional analysis in cell-free systems must be extended beyond theucleosome to the chromosomal context.

Dynamic Regulation of Nucleosome Positioning in the Human Genome

TL;DR: It is found that nucleosome phasing relative to the transcription start sites is directly correlated to RNA polymerase II (Pol II) binding and the first nucleosomes downstream of a start site exhibits differential positioning in active and silent genes.

The structure of DNA in the nucleosome core

TL;DR: Comparison of the 147-base-pair structure with two 146- base-pair structures reveals alterations in DNA twist that are evidently common in bulk chromatin, and which are of probable importance for chromatin fibre formation and chromatin remodelling.
