Islands have increased nucleosome density and order that is encoded in the DNA. (A) Violin and box plots quantifying the level of mRNAs transcribed from genes in islands and deserts 2 h after meiotic induction. ***P < 0.0001, Mann–Whitney–Wilcoxon test. (B) Average histone H3 (34) and H4 (35) ChIP-seq signal per island or desert region on wild-type chromosomes 4 h after meiotic induction. ***P < 0.0001, Mann–Whitney–Wilcoxon. (C) Average histone H3 ChIP-seq signal per ORF in islands and deserts. n.s. – not significant, P= 0.1248. (D) Average MNase signal and 95% C.I. for islands and deserts lined up at the ATG for every gene (12,15). (E) Average MNase-seq signal from nucleosomes assembled on naked S. cerevisiae DNA (38) per island or desert region. ***P < 0.0001, Mann–Whitney–Wilcoxon. (F) Average MNase signal and 95% C.I. for islands and deserts lined up at the ATG for every gene for nucleosomes assembled on naked DNA.
