Comprehensive nucleosome mapping of the human genome in cancer progression

Brooke Druliner, Daniel Vera, Ruth Johnson, Xiaoyang Ruan, Lynne Apone, Eileen Dimalanta, Fiona Stewart, Lisa Boardman, Jonathan H. Dennis

The paper maps nucleosome distributions in lung and colon adenocarcinoma using mTSS-seq, showing early, widespread nucleosome redistribution driven by DNA sequence and transcription factor binding.
