Many future studies will investigate the dynamic behaviour of nucleosome positioning in cells that have different states or that are exposed to different conditions. However, a robust method to effectively identify the regions of differential nucleosome positioning (RDNPs) has not been previously available.<\/jats:p>\n               <jats:p>Results: We describe a novel computational approach, DiNuP, that compares nucleosome profiles generated by high-throughput sequencing under various conditions. DiNuP provides a statistical P-value for each identified RDNP based on the difference of read distributions. DiNuP also empirically estimates the false discovery rate as a cutoff when two samples have different sequencing depths and differentiate reliable RDNPs from the background noise. Evaluation of DiNuP showed it to be both sensitive and specific for the detection of changes in nucleosome location, occupancy and fuzziness. RDNPs that were identified using publicly available datasets revealed that nucleosome positioning dynamics are closely related to the epigenetic regulation of transcription.<\/jats:p>\n               <jats:p>Availability and implementation: DiNuP is implemented in Python and is freely available at http:\/\/www.tongji.edu.cn\/~zhanglab\/DiNuP.<\/jats:p>\n               <jats:p>Contact: \u00a0yzhang@tongji.edu.cn<\/jats:p>\n               <jats:p>Supplementary Information: \u00a0Supplementary data are available at Bioinformatics online.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1093\/bioinformatics\/bts329","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2012,6,6]],"date-time":"2012-06-06T00:49:12Z","timestamp":1338943752000},"page":"1965-1971","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":19,"title":["DiNuP: a systematic approach to identify regions of differential nucleosome positioning"],"prefix":"10.1093","volume":"28","author":[{"given":"Kai","family":"Fu","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"1 Department of Bioinformatics, School of Life Science and Technology, Tongji University, 1239 Siping Road, Shanghai 200092, China and 2Department of Biostatistics and Computational Biology, Dana-Farber Cancer Institute and Harvard School of Public Health, 44 Binney Street, Boston, MA 02115, USA"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Qianzi","family":"Tang","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"1 Department of Bioinformatics, School of Life Science and Technology, Tongji University, 1239 Siping Road, Shanghai 200092, China and 2Department of Biostatistics and Computational Biology, Dana-Farber Cancer Institute and Harvard School of Public Health, 44 Binney Street, Boston, MA 02115, USA"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Jianxing","family":"Feng","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"1 Department of Bioinformatics, School of Life Science and Technology, Tongji University, 1239 Siping Road, Shanghai 200092, China and 2Department of Biostatistics and Computational Biology, Dana-Farber Cancer Institute and Harvard School of Public Health, 44 Binney Street, Boston, MA 02115, USA"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"X.
