p ( r ) is the conditional probability of finding a nucleosome at a spatial distance r , if another nucleosome is located at the origin. One can see a peak structure which comes from the local order of the nucleosomes in the chromatin fiber. The peaks r_Δ can be associated with certain genomic nucleosome-nucleosome distances Δ (cf. Fig. 4). Here it was averaged over approximately 10¹⁴ inter-nucleosomal distances.
