A process that is carried out at the cellular level that results in the assembly, arrangement of constituent parts, or disassembly of chromosomes, structures composed of a very long molecule of DNA and associated proteins that carries hereditary information. The aggregation, arrangement and bonding together of a cellular component. The assembly of DNA, histone proteins, and other associated proteins into chromatin structure, beginning with the formation of the basic unit, the nucleosome, followed by organization of the nucleosomes into higher order structures, ultimately giving rise to a complex organization of specific domains within the nucleus. Any process by which DNA and associated proteins are formed into a compact, orderly structure. The aggregation, arrangement and bonding together of proteins and DNA molecules to form a protein-DNA complex. The aggregation, arrangement and bonding together of proteins and centromeric DNA molecules to form a centromeric protein-DNA complex. Includes the formation of the chromatin structures which form a platform for the kinetochore, and assembly of the kinetochore onto this specialized chromatin. In fission yeast and higher eukaryotes this process also includes the formation of heterochromatin at the outer repeat (pericentric) regions of the centromere. The formation or destruction of chromatin structures. The assembly of chromatin into the specialized structure characteristic of the centromeric core region, defined by the presence of the variant histone CENP-A.
