This 30-nm fiber is further folded, results in 1000-fold compaction in euchromatin in interphase chromatin and in mitotic chromosomes to achieve an overall 10,000- fold compaction in euchromatin.

Heterochromatin generally maintains 10,000-fold compaction in both interphase and mitosis after 30 nm.

Individual nucleosomes can be obtained by treating chromatin with the endonuclease micrococcal nuclease (MNase), which cuts the DNA between nucleosomes, a region known as linker DNA.

Mononucleosomes typically have 200 bp DNA. End-trimming reduces the length of DNA first to 165 bp and then generates core particles with 146 bp.
