Abstract:Chromatin architecture is orchestrated, and plays crucial roles during the developmental process by regulating gene expression. In embryonic stem cells (ESCs), three types of chromatin states, including active, repressive and poised states, were previously identified and characterized with specific chromatin modification marks and different transcription activity, but it is largely unknown how nucleosomes are organized in these chromatin states. In this study, by using a DNA deformation energy model, we invest… Show more
