Nucleosomes are the unit of packaging within Eukaryotic cells which allows double stranded DNA to be packaged into the compact space inside the cell's nucleus. Nucleosomes are made up of double stranded DNA circling Core Histone molecules, with Linker Histone molecules joining individual nucleosomes together in a tightly compact structure.
