Nucleosome Positioning in the Upstream of TSS from Different Expression Pattern Gene during Drosophila embryogenesis

Article Preview

Abstract:

Some significant differences about nucleosome positioning of different expression patterns gene have been found while researching the nucleosome positioning of Drosophila embryogenesis. The difference from the previous study was the restricted expression pattern gene incorporating H2A.Z into the-1 nucleosome in the upstream of Transcription Start Sites (TSS). Interestingly, compared with the nucleosome positioning of yeast genes, this nucleosome arrangement at gene of restricted expression pattern is similar with the characteristic found in yeast.
