NUCOME

NUCOME provides standardized, quality-controlled nucleosome organization landscapes across multiple cell types in human and mouse genomes to enable integrative analyses of nucleosome positioning and chromatin-related regulatory activity.


Key Features:

  • Quality Control: Implementation of rigorous quality control assessments using established QC metrics to evaluate nucleosome organization datasets.
  • Standardization: Filtering and curation of datasets to generate standardized nucleosome organization landscapes for consistent downstream analysis.
  • Comprehensive Coverage: Inclusion of nucleosome organization landscapes across multiple cell types in both human and mouse genomes.
  • Integrative Analysis Support: Provision of datasets suitable for analyses at whole-genome and individual-locus scales to study nucleosome positioning and regulatory functions.

Scientific Applications:

  • Gene regulation: Relating nucleosome positioning to gene regulatory activity and transcriptional control.
  • Chromatin accessibility and genome architecture: Investigating relationships between nucleosome organization, chromatin accessibility, and higher-order genome structure.
  • Integrative and comparative analyses: Combining standardized nucleosome landscapes across cell types and species for comparative and integrative genomic studies.

Methodology:

Rigorous quality control assessments using established QC metrics and subsequent filtering and curation to produce standardized nucleosome organization datasets.
