NucVoter: A Voting Algorithm for Reliable Nucleosome Prediction Using Next-Generation Sequencing Data
Figure 4
Consensus nucleosomes and consensus areas. (a), (b), and (c) indicate three different prediction methods. Grey ellipses represent consensus nucleosomes. Nucleosomes 6 and 7, which are globally nearest, initially create a consensus area, and nucleosome 5 is added. Then, nucleosomes 8 and 9, which are nearest among the remaining nucleosomes, create another consensus area. Finally, nucleosomes 1 and 2 create a consensus area, and then nucleosome 3 is added. Adding nucleosome 3 rather than nucleosome 4 minimizes the distances of the centers of the three nucleosomes in the consensus area. Under the assumption that the priorities are in the order of methods (b), (a), and (c), NucVoter predicts nucleosomes 2, 6, and 8.
