Figure 3. Phasing information and rotational setting.

Figure 3

a | In a population, individual nucleosomes are either positioned within a small range of a genomic locus (phased) or with a continuous distribution throughout an array (fuzzy). b | The bar graph is an idealized distribution of nucleosomal sequence tags, which form a large cluster and several subclusters, in which the subclusters are spaced about 10 bp apart and represent multiple translational settings with a single predominant rotational setting (see also BOX 1). Also shown is a schematic of alternative rotational settings of DNA and its effect on site accessibility (indicated by the black ‘rungs’ on the DNA helix).
