Figure 3

Simulated nucleosome ladders having two different repeats illustrating the vernier effect. A ladder having 195 bp spacing is shown adjacent to a ladder having 180 bp spacing. At least 10 bands can be resolved for each. The superposition of these two ladders (merged) leads to a loss of resolution after the 5mer due to a vernier effect.
