Theoretical probability of nucleosome occupancy at each point of a box bordered by two linear energy barriers at gene extremities (Methods, Equation 2): (A) Box large enough to shelter five nucleosomes (green); (B) larger box where the two dotted and dashed configurations are possible; the weighted average of the five and six nucleosome crystal-like profiles yields a fuzzy-looking average profile (red); and (C) larger box where six nucleosomes can be accommodated.
