Any process that modulates the frequency, rate or extent of cellular component biogenesis, the process by which a cellular component is synthesized, aggregates, and bonds together. Any process that results in the specification, formation or maintenance of the physical structure of eukaryotic heterochromatin, a compact and highly condensed form of chromatin. The assembly of chromatin into heterochromatin, a compact and highly condensed form that is often, but not always, transcriptionally silent. 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 the modulates the frequency, rate or extent of chromatin assembly. Chromatin assembly is 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 modulates the frequency, rate, extent or location of heterochromatin formation. 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. Any process that modulates the extent or location of heterochromatin formation. Any process that activates or increases the frequency, rate or extent of heterochromatin formation. 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 heterochromatin formation.
