Nucleosome and expression data

Bar files
The bar files contain the normalized probe intensity data for each experiment. They are best viewed in the integrated genome browser (IGB). After starting IGB, go to the "Data access" tab and select "Saccharomyces cerevisiae" as the organism and "S_cerevisiae_May_2008" as the genome version. Under "Choose data sources and data sets", there should now be an entry labeled "Hugheslab (quickload)". Click this entry to show the available data tracks and select "sgd_orfs" (and any other track of interest). The ORF annotations should now appear in the main window. To view the bar file tracks, go to the "File" menu and open the files that you want to see.

Clustering data for each strain

The links above contain the combined clustering diagrams for the nucleosome and transcription data for gene and non-gene features. For each mutant, the data is further subdivided into sense and antisense transcription data, with clustering relative to the transcription start or termination site. See also this pdf file for more info on how to interpret the diagrams.

Here is the breakdown of data for gene features:

Within each of these folders, there are five types of data:

The sorted clustering diagrams are useful to quickly assess if there is correlation between nucleosome occupancy and transcription. Each data type has an associated '.cdt' file that can be opened with Java Treeview and contains annotation details and GO category information that can be displayed alongside the cluster diagrams. For each clustering I also auto-generated a '.png' preview file, so that you can check the clustering for major effects, before going through the effort of opening all cluster diagrams.

Below is the breakdown for the non-gene features. Note that I did not distinguish between the TSS or TTS for the non-gene features (all is relative to the TSS) since they are typically so small that the results would essentially be the same.

Within each folder there are two types of data:
