Nucleosomal stability at promoters. A: Scatter plot of the mean Δls value averaged over 2126 promoter (black line) and 2126 random (green line) sequences, 3kbp long and aligned at the transcription start site. Black dots with horizontal bars mark mapped nucleosomal positions in the human genome [13]. B: Scatter plot of the mean Δls value averaged over 35650 human promoter sequences at transcription start (black line) and termination (red line) sites.
