Native nucleosome-positioning elements as alternatives to the 601 sequence for nucleosome repositioning studies.
Article in Nucleic acids research, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 7 papers.
What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
Nucleosome repositioning is essential for establishing nucleosome-depleted regions to initiate transcription. This process has been extensively studied using structural, biochemical, and single-molecule approaches, which require homogeneously positioned nucleosomes. This is often achieved using the Widom 601 sequence, a highly efficient nucleosome-positioning element (NPE) selected for its unusually strong binding to the H3-H4 histone tetramer. Due to the artificial nature of 601, native NPEs are needed to explore the role of DNA sequence in nucleosome repositioning. Here, we characterize the position distributions and nucleosome formation free energies for a set of yeast native nucleosomes from Saccharomyces cerevisiae. We show these native NPEs can be used in biochemical studies of nucleosome repositioning by transcription factors (TFs) and the chromatin remodeler Chd1. TFs could directly reposition a fraction of nucleosomes containing native NPEs, but not 601-containing nucleosomes. In contrast, partial unwrapping was similar for 601 and native NPE sequences, and the rate of ATP-dependent remodeling by Chd1 was within the range of the fast and slow directions of the 601 nucleosomes. This set of native NPEs provides an alternative to the 601 NPE that can be used for probing the repositioning of nucleosomes that contain native DNA sequences.
