chromatin
[noun]
Chromatin is the substance inside of the cell's nucleus and it consists of DNA, proteins (primarily histones), and chromosomal RNA. The principal function of chromatin is to package DNA by folding it up into a compact form that, when stained with a dye, can be seen as individual chromosomes. Chromatin is only found in eukaryotic cells.
