A cellular process that results in the breakdown of a part of the cell. The controlled breakdown of chromatin from a higher order structure into its simpler subcomponents, DNA, histones, and other proteins. The disaggregation of a protein-DNA complex into its constituent components. The controlled breakdown of nucleosomes on newly replicated DNA, coupled to strand elongation. The controlled breakdown of nucleosomes outside the context of DNA replication. Any process that results in the specification, formation or maintenance of the physical structure of eukaryotic chromatin. The disaggregation of a macromolecular complex into its constituent components, carried out at the cellular level. A process that is carried out at the cellular level which results in the assembly, arrangement of constituent parts, or disassembly of one or more nucleosomes. The controlled breakdown of nucleosomes, the beadlike structural units of eukaryotic chromatin composed of histones and DNA. Any process carried out at the cellular level by which macromolecules aggregate, disaggregate, or are modified, resulting in the formation, disassembly, or alteration of a macromolecular complex. The formation or destruction of chromatin structures.
