Descriptions Names[Advanced Search]

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 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. The formation or destruction of chromatin structures on newly replicated DNA, coupled to strand elongation. The controlled breakdown of chromatin from a higher order structure into its simpler subcomponents, DNA, histones, and other proteins. The formation or destruction of chromatin structures, occurring outside the context of DNA replication. Any process that activates or increases the frequency, rate or extent of chromatin assembly or disassembly. Any process that results in the specification, formation or maintenance of the physical structure of eukaryotic chromatin. Any process that modulates the frequency, rate or extent of chromatin assembly or disassembly. Any process that stops, prevents or reduces the frequency, rate or extent of chromatin assembly or disassembly. The formation or destruction of chromatin structures.
