Capture contacts and chromatin composition do not correlate with compaction. a Distribution of Hi-C contacts [95] across a region of chromosome XIV. The different genomic separations are colour coded along with the contacts measured across each region. The total number of contacts identified within each region is indicated to the right. b Strengths and locations of boundaries as determined by Micro-C [56]. The same colour coding is used to identify boundaries of a given strain. The number of region-specific 4C interactions per Kb (c) [95], number of genes per kb (d), compaction measured by micro-C (multiplied by −1) (e) [56], mean enrichment for PolII (f), mean enrichment for Sir2 (g) [96], mean enrichment for histone H3 (h) [96] and mean enrichment for histone H3 monomethylated at lysine 4 (i) [91] are plotted for each strain with the genomic separation between operators indicated. No factors were identified that correlate well with compaction. The distribution of additional factors across this region is plotted in Additional file 1: Figure S3)
