a Percentage validated values were derived from real-time PCR results for each cluster size

b Normalized (observed) values are the number of DNase clusters multiplied by percentage valid

c Best 1 state represents a single Poisson distribution that best fits observed data

d Best 2 state represents two classes of Poisson distributions that best fit observed data. One class assumes 8% of the DNase HS sites are eight times more hypersensitive to DNase digestion
