Running NPS (nucleososme positioning from Seq) on Chipseq data

[honey]

I have a kind of basic question- I have a SE chipseq data for histone modification, Do we need to a specific wet lab experiment before we run NPS alogrithm for checking nucleosome positioning. The data I have is from regular chipseq and is not specifically from nucleosome fraction. My idea is to overlay the histone modification regions with nucleosome positioning. Any suggestion or feedback please.

Is your data MNase digested or fragmented by sonication?

I know that if you have H3k4me3 MNase seq, the position of individual nucleosomes can be visualized, but with sonication you just get a blob of a signal over the TSS.

nucleosome position from regular chipseq

It is a variant of H2AZ and the samples are just sonicated and are not MNase digested.

Thanks

I somehow doubt that the NPS will give you the results you want. I tried doing the nucleosome prediction on my H3k4me3 and H2A.z sonicated samples, and the results were almost random. If you really want the true resolution, I would recommend you to do the MNase experiment with the histone.
