  1. The correlations shown are between intergenic histone acetylation patterns [13] and levels of gene expression (data taken from [13]), and the experimentally mapped densities of tagged histone H4 [8], and untagged H3 and tagged H2B [9]. Pearson correlation coefficients are shown, which can range from -1 (perfect inverse correlation) through 0 (no correlation) to +1 (perfect positive correlation). Correlations were calculated for 1,580 intergenic regions that were represented in all three datasets; significance, *p < 10-3, **p < 10-8.
