Table 1.

The features collectively impart nucleosome formation/inhibition potential on a sequence. A plus symbol indicates nucleosome formation potential, and a minus symbol indicates nucleosome inhibition potential. The higher the ROC score, the more significant the feature is in distinguishing the two groups. The GC/AT richness of a sequence is the strongest single factor among k-mer frequencies in determining its nucleosome formation potential. The entire table containing all 2772 k-mers is available in the supplemental material at http://zlab.bu.edu/NPS/.
