DNA sequence factors that influence nucleosome occupancy on X and autosomes. (A) Percentage of GC bases in a 50 base-pair window surrounding each base pair is averaged and plotted separately across X and autosomal transcript start coordinates. (B) Distribution of average GC content (−300 to +200 of the transcript start sites) among X and autosomes. (C) Normalized nucleosome occupancy per base pair was predicted by a model derived from in vitro reconstitution of nucleosomes on yeast DNA. The values from this model are averaged and plotted across the X and autosomal transcript start sites.
