Chromatin remodeling refers to the dynamic modification of the chromatin architecture to facilitate access to the genomic DNA. These modifications are essential for processes such as DNA replication, transcription, repair, and recombination. Chromatin is composed of DNA wrapped around histone proteins, forming nucleosomes. Chromatin remodeling involves altering the structure of nucleosomes and can be achieved through histone modification, incorporation of histone variants, and ATP-dependent chromatin remodeling complexes.
