The chromatin is located in the nucleus of a cell. It contains the genetic material, like Deoxyribonucleic Acid (also known as D.N.A.) Chromatin are tiny little fibers compressed together in the nucleus. It can be likened to a spider's web.
Chromatin is comprised of histones and DNA: a 147 bp of DNA chain wrapped around the 8 core histone forms the basic chromatin unit, the nucleosome. The function of chromatin is to efficiently package DNA into a small volume to fit into the nucleus of a cell and protect the DNA structure and sequence.
