^aThe RNAP II occupancy (log₂ IP/no Ab) and Spt6 occupancy (log₂ HA/no tag) determined by our ChIP-chip assay are compared to the nucleosome occupancy signals (log₂ spt6-1004/wild type) across coding regions for representative genes on chromosome III. The genes in boldface in the top half of the table are highly transcribed; those in the bottom half are transcribed at basal levels.
