GO:0031507: heterochromatin formation (Biological process)

"An epigenetic gene silencing mechanism in which chromatin is compacted into heterochromatin, resulting in a chromatin conformation refractory to transcription. This process starts with heterochromatin nucleation, its spreading, and ends with heterochromatin boundary formation." [PMID:25192661, PMID:33827924]
