The maintenance of chromatin in a transciptionally silent state such as heterochromatin. 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. 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 telomeric DNA by altering the structure of chromatin. The maintenance of chromatin in a transciptionally silent state such as heterochromatin at the telomere.
