Higher nucleosome occupancy at the X promoters does not depend on somatic dosage compensation. (A) Nucleosome occupancy was measured in L3 XO hermaphrodites, which do not undergo dosage compensation. Nucleosome occupancy is averaged and plotted across X and autosomal transcript start sites. (B) X chromosome reads were doubled to correct for a single X in XO animals. (C,D) Nucleosome occupancy prediction from the in vitro model is plotted for X and autosomes of C. briggsae (C) and D. melanogaster (D).
