Physical properties of naked DNA influence nucleosome positioning and correlate with transcription start and termination sites in yeast

Physical properties of naked DNA influence nucleosome positioning and correlate with transcription start and termination sites in yeast

<p>Abstract</p> <p>Background</p> <p>In eukaryotic organisms, DNA is packaged into chromatin structure, where most of DNA is wrapped into nucleosomes. DNA compaction and nucleosome positioning have clear functional implications, since they modulate the accessibility of...
