About

Chromatin structure is the academic concept and research field concerned with the hierarchical organization of deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) and associated proteins, predominantly histones, within the nucleus of eukaryotic cells. This complex arrangement, ranging from the fundamental nucleosome unit to higher-order folding patterns, is critical for regulating essential genome functions such as gene expression, DNA replication, repair, and chromosome segregation.
