Telomeric cell-free DNA is associated with telomeric nucleosome repeat length in humans (145 bp versus ~170 bp genome-wide).
“a nucleosome repeat length of 145 bp, markedly shorter than the ~170 bp observed genome-wide.”

Human blood DNA fragments reveal chromosome-end packaging

Blood DNA fragments indicated packaging units spaced 145 base pairs apart at chromosome ends, compared with about 170 base pairs across the genome.Blood DNA fragments indicated packaging units spaced 145 base pairs apart at chromosome ends, compared with about 170 base pairs across the genome.
