Figure 2
Stiffness, deformation energy and coverage profiles in low coverage regions. Total stiffness parameter (ktotal), deformation energy and coverage maps were calculated and averaged across all yeast genome, around (A) LRs in naked DNA, (B) LRs in nucleosomal DNA and (C) CLRs in nucleosomal and naked DNA. Deformation energy describes the energetic cost of wrapping a 147 bp DNA fragment into the nucleosome conformation (higher the energy, more the nucleosome location is disfavored). All values are normalized (scaled in the range 0-1) to facilitate analysis and comparisons.
