Talk:Preprint/K-mer

K-mers have also been shown to have a role in Epigenomics. In particular, for nucleosome positioning:

- Peckham,H.E. et al. (2007) Nucleosome positioning signals in genomic DNA. Genome Res., 17, 1170-1177.

- R Giancarlo, SE Rombo, F Utro. Epigenomic k-mer dictionaries: shedding light on how sequence composition influences in vivo nucleosome positioning. Bioinformatics 31 (18), 2939-2946, 2015.

- Akinori Awazu. Prediction of nucleosome positioning by the incorporation of frequencies and distributions of three different nucleotide segment lengths into a general pseudo k-tuple nucleotide composition. Bioinformatics, Volume 33, Issue 1, 1 January 2017, Pages 42-48.

and for studying the variation in chromatin accessibility across cells:
