Abstract:Recent genome wide experiments indicate that DNA sequences themselves strongly influence nucleosome positioning as an intrinsic cell regulatory mechanism. While some sequence features are known to be nucleosome forming or nucleosome inhibiting, there is no systematic study on identifying optimal sequence features for quantitatively modeling of DNA binding affinity. In this paper, we propose a computationally efficient method of identifying a (small) number of sequence features for intrinsic nucleosome position… Show more
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
