Abstract
Nucleosome dynamics plays important roles in many biological processes, such as DNA replication and gene expression. NucMap (https://ngdc.cncb.ac.cn/nucmap) is the first database of genome-wide nucleosome positioning maps across species. Here, we present an updated version, NucMap 2.0, by incorporating more species and MNase-seq samples. In addition, we integrate other related omics data for each MNase-seq sample to provide a comprehensive view of nucleosome positioning, such as gene expression, transcription factor binding sites, histone modifications and DNA methylation. In particular, NucMap 2.0 integrates and pre-analyzes RNA-seq data and ChIP-seq data of human-related samples, which facilitates the interpretation of nucleosome positioning in humans. All processed data are integrated into an in-built genome browser, and users can make comprehensive side-by-side analyses. In addition, more online analytical functions are developed, which allows researchers to identify differential nucleosome regions and explore potential gene regulatory regions. All resources are open access with a user-friendly web interface.
