TLDR
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/.

ATP binding facilitates target search of SWR1 chromatin remodeler by promoting one-dimensional diffusion on DNA

TL;DR: It is demonstrated that SWR1 has a kinetic binding preference for DNA of NDR length as opposed to gene-body linker length DNA, which is well characterized for DNA binding proteins.

Preferential Nucleosome Occupancy at High Values of DNA Helical Rise

Francesco Pedone, +1 more
- 01 Feb 2012 - 
TL;DR: Mean helical rise profiles obtained by using maps of positioned nucleosomes of the Drosophila melanogaster and Plasmodium falciparum genomes, as well as Homo sapiens chromosome 20, confirm that nucleosites are mainly located where the mean helicals rise reaches its largest values.

Separable, Ctf4-mediated recruitment of DNA Polymerase α for initiation of DNA synthesis at replication origins and lagging-strand priming during replication elongation

TL;DR: Although the initiation of both strands is widely thought to be mechanistically similar, it is determined that Ctf4, a hub that connects proteins to the replication fork, specifically recruits Pol α to the lagging strand but is not required for leading-strand initiation.

Defining the chromatin structure of the human genome using size-selected nucleosome mapping

TL;DR: The work in this thesis examines genome-wide and local changes in the patterns of nucleosome positioning throughout the human genome to provide insight into the role of chromatin structure in the regulation of human neural cell differentiation.

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.
