Zoom continuously from a bare double helix to a nucleosome with DNA wrapped about 1.65 times around a histone core, to beads on a string, a condensed fiber and finally a chromosome, with overall compaction on the order of 700-fold. The 30 nm fiber is shown as one representative model, and the app says plainly that its true structure is still debated. Level-of-detail switching is stated as a performance simplification.
