Repression of transcription by altering the structure of chromatin, e.g. by conversion of large regions of DNA into an inaccessible state often called heterochromatin. Any epigenetic process that stops, prevents or reduces the rate of gene expression. Repression of transcription of centromeric DNA by altering the structure of chromatin. Any transcriptional or post-transcriptional process carried out at the cellular level that results in long-term gene inactivation. Any process that stops, prevents or reduces the frequency, rate or extent of cellular DNA-dependent transcription. Any process that increases the frequency, rate or extent of chromatin silencing at the centromere. Chromatin silencing at the centromere is the repression of transcription of centromeric DNA by altering the structure of chromatin. Any process that modulates the frequency, rate or extent of chromatin silencing at the centromere. Chromatin silencing at the centromere is the repression of transcription of centromeric DNA by altering the structure of chromatin.
