Keywords	TATA box; Eukaryotic promoter; Nucleosome mapping; Rotational positioning; Chromatin and transcription
Description	Transcription is known to be affected by the rotational setting of the transcription response elements within nucleosomes.Our results show that the nucleosome DNA sequence harboring the TATA box encodes alternative rotational positions for the same piece of DNA. This may serve for switching the gene activity on and off.
