Nucleosome position patterns and gene properties. (a-h) k-means clustering for the set of 4,792 verified transcripts [30] with known TSS data, according to stable and dynamic nucleosome occupancy. Green represents areas depleted of nucleosomes, red areas are occupied. The frequency of each group of genes among 4,792 high-confidence transcripts with changing property values was calculated for each sliding 209 gene window. (i-x) The frequency of the four groups' genes were plotted as a function of various properties, including transcription rate, mRNA abundance, sensitivity to chromatin regulation and H3 turnover.
