What is nucleosome positioning?

What will be an ideal response?


Ans: Nucleosome positioning happens when a particular length of DNA is arranged in a nucleosome in only one configuration, so that certain DNA sequences are present in the linkers and in the exposed face of the nucleosome. Nucleosome positioning is often the result of proteins binding to the DNA to limit the possible nucleosome configurations.
