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. Repression of transcription of ribosomal DNA by altering the structure of chromatin. Any epigenetic process that stops, prevents or reduces the rate of gene expression. 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.
