Abstract

Organizing nucleosomes The nucleosomes are the basic repeating units of eukaryotic chromatin, and nucleosome organization is critically important for gene regulation. Kaplan et al. tested the importance of the intrinsic DNA sequence preferences of nucleosomes by measuring the genome-wide occupancy of nucleosomes assembled on purified yeast genomic DNA. The resulting map is remarkably similar to in vivo nucleosome maps, indicating that the organization of nucleosomes in vivo is largely governed by the underlying genomic DNA sequence.
