Inverse association between nucleosome occupancy and promoter strength. (a) Relative enrichment of promoter regions in the H3 and FLAG-H2B ChIP assays plotted against transcription rate of downstream genes (moving average, window 50). (b) Overlap between promoters upstream of active genes and the set of nucleosome-depleted promoters defined on the basis of depletion across the replicate H3 and FLAG-H2B experiments.
