The paper identifies that CC and GG dinucleotides at specific positions influence nucleosome positioning in yeast and mouse genomes by destabilizing histone-DNA interactions.

This study investigates TCS4-associated mutations in S. pombe by analyzing their effects on rRNA transcription and cell growth.

The paper identifies asymmetric nucleosome positioning preferences in yeast protein-coding regions using a chimeric DNA model, revealing sequence-specific dinucleotide contributions to nucleosome stability.

The paper develops a Bioconductor package, nuCpos, that uses chemical maps to predict nucleosome positioning more accurately than MNase-seq-based methods.
