Heterochromatin - an overview | ScienceDirect Topics
Heterochromatin is a cytologically dense material that is typically found at centromeres and telomeres . It mostly consists of repetitive DNA sequences and is relatively gene poor. Its most notable property is its ability to silence euchromatic gene expression.

Constitutive heterochromatin
The regions that stain darker are regions of constitutive heterochromatin. Constitutive heterochromatin is not to be confused with facultative heterochromatin, which is less condensed, less stable, and much less polymorphic, and
