State
Beyond the nucleosome, DNA coils into a 30-nanometer chromatin fiber, then into loops organized by fibrous proteins, reaching its most condensed state during mitosis.
Show
Each chromosome occupies its own territory in the nucleus without overlapping neighbors, a spacing these packing levels help maintain.
Watch for
Chromatin packing is dynamic — it loosens and tightens with gene needs and cell-cycle stage.
