These findings suggest that yeast promoter sequences have evolved to bind nucleosomes according to lineage-specific gene expression requirements. As such, it ushers in a new paradigm of evolution acting on DNA sequences that code for chromatin states in cis.
This paper continues an important line of work relating genomic DNA sequence...
