Nucleosome positions alone can be used to predict domains in yeast chromosomes [Biophysics and Computational Biology]
(World News Science)

We use molecular dynamics simulations based on publicly available micrococcal nuclease sequencing data for nucleosome positions to predict the 3D structure of chromatin in the yeast genome. Our main aim is to shed light on the mechanism underlying the formation of chromosomal interaction domains, chromosome regions of around 0.5 to... ......
