The initial formation of a transcriptionally silent chromatin structure such as heterochromatin. 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. The initial formation of a transcriptionally silent chromatin structure such as heterochromatin at silent mating-type loci. Repression of transcription at silent mating-type loci by alteration of the structure of chromatin. Dynamic structural changes to eukaryotic chromatin occurring throughout the cell division cycle. These changes range from the local changes necessary for transcriptional regulation to global changes necessary for chromosome segregation.
