Graphical Abstract
Highlights
► Dense chromatin regions have considerable chromatin accessibility ► Observed local fluctuation of individual nucleosomes in interphase and mitotic chromatin ► Inhibition of nucleoome fluctuation impaired the chromatin accessibility ► Local fluctuation of nucleosomes is the basis for scanning genome information
