    GlossaryChromatin

    complex of DNA and proteins in cell nuclei

    Chromatin is a complex of DNA and proteins found in the nucleus of cells. It packages the long DNA molecules into a more compact, dense shape, allowing for efficient regulation of gene expression and DNA replication. For a layperson, think of it as the way your genetic material is neatly organized and stored in your cells.
