MNase-seq analysis of Col-0 and chr11-1 chr17-1

ABSTRACT: Chromatin has a highly organized structure with the repeating nucleosome subunits. The position of nucleosomes on the chromatin is dynamically regulated by ATP-dependent chromatin remodeling factors (remodelers), therefore providing specific epigenetic information. However, the in vivo nucleosome distribution pattern in plants and how plant remodelers control the pattern formation are not yet clear. Here we use the Micrococcal Nuclease digestion followed by deep sequencing (MNase-seq) assay to show the genome-wide nucleosome pattern in plants and the role of the Arabidopsis thaliana Imitation Switch (AtISWI) subfamily remodelers in the pattern formation. Our data revealed three patterns in wild-type plants: 1) Promoters have a relative low nucleosome density compared with gene bodies; 2) N
