Chromatin For Chroma (ancient Greek): color
Chromosome 1889, from German Chromosom, coined 1888 by German anatomist Wilhelm von Waldeyer-Hartz (1836-1921), from Latinized form of Greek khroma "color" (see chroma) + soma "body" (see somato-). So called because the structures contain a substance that stains readily with basic dyes (Hoechst). Online Etymology Dictionary

Chromatin (modern definition): The combination of DNA and proteins that make up the contents of the nucleus of a cell
- Compacts DNA so that it fits in the nucleus (10-15 µM in diameter) (human DNA is 2 meter-long!)
- Allows for the segregation of chromosomes during mitosis
- Protects DNA from damage
- Controls gene expression
- Controls DNA replication during S phase

Heterochromatin
Euchromatin
“In 1928 the German botanist Emil Heitz visualised in moss nuclei chromosomal regions that do not undergo postmitotic decondensation [Heitz E (1928) Das Heterochromatin der Moose. Jahrb Wiss Botanik 69: 762–818.]. He termed these parts of the chromosomes heterochromatin, whereas fractions of the chromosome that decondense and spread out diffusely in the interphase nucleus are referred to as euchromatin Heitz proposed that heterochromatin reflects a functionally inactive state of the genome, and we now know that DNA in heterochromatic regions is less accessible to nucleases and less susceptible to recombination events.” quote from Straub T (2003) PLoS Biol 1(1): e14.

Summary
• Chromatin is highly dynamic.
• It can me modified by:
• Incorporation of H1, histone variants or non-histone proteins.
• The action of ATP-dependent remodelers.
• Various PTMs.
• Assembly of chromatin occurs at various extend all through the cell cycle and is assisted by various histone chaperones.
• Nucleosome positioning is regulated by cellular factors.
• Chromatin is an integrative aspect of all cellular processes involving DNA (transcription, DNA repair, DNA replication, etc.).
• Regulation of chromatin structure during these processes usually involve cooperation between several aspects of chromatin dynamics.
