Nucleosome dynamics and analysis in breast cancer cells

Genome-wide analysis of the nucleosome positioning and histone H1 isoform content of the T47D breast cancer cell line has found a number of observations, namely that with a gentle digestion of microccocal nuclease (MNase), a nucleosome is visible just upstream of the transcription start site, in the...

Sumario:Genome-wide analysis of the nucleosome positioning and histone H1 isoform content of the T47D breast cancer cell line has found a number of observations, namely that with a gentle digestion of microccocal nuclease (MNase), a nucleosome is visible just upstream of the transcription start site, in the region known as the “nucleosome-free region” (NFR). H1 isoforms bind to chromatin mainly in a redundant manner, but H1.2 and H1.3 show some specificity while H1.5 increases its binding dramatically after a progesterone stimulus. In the course of these studies, a general-purpose software package was developed for the manipulation and analysis of bigWig files, a data format for storing continuous signal data assigned to genome coordinates
