Hypomethylated domain-enriched DNA motifs prepattern the accessible nucleosome organization in teleosts

Abstract Background Gene promoters in vertebrate genomes show distinct chromatin features such as stably positioned nucleosome array and DNA hypomethylation. The nucleosomes are known to have certain sequence preferences, and the prediction of nucleosome positioning from DNA sequence has been succes...
