Eukaryotic genomic DNA is packaged into chromatin through the formation of nucleosome. The nucleosome is the basic repeating unit of eukaryotic chromatin, consisting of an octamer of histones with two ...
The cell's genetic material, DNA, is packaged into tightly wound structures called nucleosomes. The DNA (red) is wound around two sets of core histone proteins (green) to form a kind of bead on a ...
