Abstract
Chromatin organization plays an important role in regulating the genetic machinery of the cell. A nucleosome is a basic unit of chromatin packaging and harbors about 145 bp of DNA. The packaging of genetic material and its accessibility to transcription enzymes and other regulatory chromatin proteins depend on the positions of nucleosomes. MNase sequencing is used to examine the nucleosome positions in a genome. MNase sequencing data are sufficient for detecting the presence of nucleosomes on a sequence, but their precise locations can be problematic to establish. Additional data filtering and processing are required for accurate determination of nucleosome positions. A combined method was developed using a geometric analysis of the molecular models of nucleosome chains to select the possible nucleosome positions on the basis of MNase sequencing data. The algorithm efficiently eliminates the inaccessible nucleosome chain combinations and conformationally prohibited nucleosome positions.

期刊介绍:
Biophysics is a multidisciplinary international peer reviewed journal that covers a wide scope of problems related to the main physical mechanisms of processes taking place at different organization levels in biosystems. It includes structure and dynamics of macromolecules, cells and tissues; the influence of environment; energy transformation and transfer; thermodynamics; biological motility; population dynamics and cell differentiation modeling; biomechanics and tissue rheology; nonlinear phenomena, mathematical and cybernetics modeling of complex systems; and computational biology. The journal publishes short communications devoted and review articles.
