Chromatin is the genetic makeup of chromosomes, consisting of DNA and proteins.

In 2369, Julian Bashir and Jadzia Dax noticed that the chromatin pattern of a subject they were studying was changing, making them realise that the subject was becoming humanoid. (DS9 episode: "A Man Alone")

Bashir and Shannon, a crewmember of the USS Aldebaran, spent several years corresponding on chromatin formation. (DS9 novel: Avatar)
