What is DNA Packaging in Eukaryotes: Nucleosomes about?

Nucleosomes are the basic units of DNA packaging in eukaryotes. They consist of segments of DNA wound in sequence around eight histone protein cores to form a structure resembling thread wrapped around a spool. Nucleosomes fold the large eukaryotic genomes into the nucleus through successively higher order structures that eventually form chromosomes, compacting the DNA and creating an added layer of regulatory control over gene expression. Nucleosomes are also thought to carry epigenetic information through
