Extensive DNA sequence analysis of three eukaryotes, S. cerevisiae, C. elegans, and D. melanogaster, reveals two different AA/TT periodical patterns associated with the nucleosome positioning. The first pattern is the counter-phase oscillation of AA and TT dinucleotides, which has been frequently considered as the nucleosome DNA pattern. This represents the sequence rule I for chromatin structure. The second pattern is the in-phase oscillation of the AA and TT dinucleotides with the same nucleosome DNA period, 10.4 bases. This pattern apparently corresponds to Curved DNA, that also participates in the nucleosome formation, and represents the sequence rule II for chromatin. The positional correlations of AA and TT dinucleotides also indicate that the nucleosomes are separated by specific linker sizes (preferably 8, 18,... bases), dictated by the steric exclusion rules. Thus, the sequence positions of the neighboring nucleosomes are correlated, and this represents the sequence rule III.
