Nucleosome free regions in yeast promoters result from competitive binding of transcription factors that interact with chromatin modifiers.

Because DNA packaging in nucleosomes modulates its accessibility to transcription factors (TFs), unraveling the causal determinants of nucleosome positioning is of great importance to understanding gene regulation. Although there is evidence that intrinsic sequence specificity contributes to nucleos...
