Abstract

It is well known that major part of a eukaryotic genome is wrapped around histone proteins forming nucleosomes. It was also demonstrated that the DNA sequence itself is playing an important role in the nucleosome positioning process. In this work, a cluster analysis of 67 517 nucleosome binding sites from the S. Cerevisiae genome was carried out. The classification method is based on the self-adjusting dinucleotides position weight matrix. As a result, 135 significant clusters were discovered that contain 43225 sequences (which constitutes 64% of the initial set). The meaning of the found classes is discussed, as well as the possibility of the further usage.
