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 that results in the specification, formation or maintenance of the physical structure of eukaryotic chromatin. Ordering of successions of nucleosomes into regular arrays so that nucleosomes are positioned at defined distances from one another. 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. Any process by which DNA and associated proteins are formed into a compact, orderly structure. 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.
