The random samples for both grass- and monocot-specific CNSs with no AT preference stayed roughly constant with regards to the nucleosome occupancy probability throughout the length.
The same analysis was carried out for a random sample with same AT content as the CNSs (random sequences to have the same length as the CNSs) and also for a random sample with no specific AT preference.
