The Euchromatin can have nucleosomes structures up to the 30 nm nucleosome structure. If more compaction is added, the term "heterochromatin" is used. Thus, the "Euchromation" is from the: double stranded DNA with no nucleosomes, string and beads i.e. the 11 nm nucleosomes, and the 30 nm nucleosomes structure.

== Illustration ==

The illustration has some light yellow text against a white background, which is very hard to read due to low contrast. It would be nice if that could be made higher contrast to increase readability.

Additionally I found it hard to make out the central point the illustration was aiming for, but possibly I was just distracted by the above contrast issue. Judge for yourself.

P.S. Taissirn's footnote is no longer adjacent to their comment because it floats to bottom of page; some markdown wizard could doubtless fix that. [[Special:Contributions/99.109.43.64|99.109.43.64]] ([[User talk:99.109.43.64|talk]]) 20:18, 4 September 2015 (UTC)

Structure

its 146 bp —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 83.104.130.77 (talkcontribs) 13:48, 15 April 2007 (UTC)

This comment was apparently in relation to the change in the article by same IP:
Nucleosomes consist of eight proteins known as histones, with approximately 146 base pairs of DNA wound around them; ...
Factual? Reasonable? (I doh'nah...) Shenme 18:32, 19 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]
the change is Factual. It is however just as factual to say 147 since apparently Nucleosomes can have both 146 and 147 basepairs associated with them. The Nucleosome Article has references to this. 12 October 2008 —Preceding unsigned comment added by 81.156.5.241 (talk) 15:59, 12 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Found in procaryotes?

Bacteria don't have chromatin, according to both my understanding and the bacterial chromosome article. I haven't been able to find much about chromatin structure in archaea. Archaea do have chromatin [1], but I don't know whether they have the distinction of euchromatin vs heterochromatin. --Dan Wylie-Sears 2 (talk) 18:19, 7 April 2011 (UTC)[reply]

what does the "Euchromatin" classification cover.?

The Euchromatin can have nucleosomes structures up to the 30 nm nucleosome structure. If more compaction is added, the term "heterochromatin" is used. Thus, the "Euchromation" is from the: double stranded DNA with no nucleosomes, string and beads i.e. the 11 nm nucleosomes, and the 30 nm nucleosomes structure.

Illustration

The illustration has some light yellow text against a white background, which is very hard to read due to low contrast. It would be nice if that could be made higher contrast to increase readability.

Additionally I found it hard to make out the central point the illustration was aiming for, but possibly I was just distracted by the above contrast issue. Judge for yourself.
