A comparison of nucleosome organization in Drosophila cell lines. by Rebecca L Martin, John Maiorano, Greg J Beitel, John F Marko, Graham McVicker, Yvonne N Fondufe-Mittendorf

“…Further analysis of these regions identified 91 out of 16,384 possible heptamer sequences that showed differential nucleosomal occupation between cell lines, and 49 of the heptamers matched one or more known transcription factor binding sites. These results demonstrate that there is differential nucleosome positioning between these Drosophila cell lines and therefore identify a system that could be used to investigate the functional significance of differential nucleosomal positioning in cell type specification.…”
