We give an overview over current coarse-grained models of DNA and the chromatin fiber. A short review of the major structural elements, interaction potentials and mechanical parameters relevant for chromatin structure is given. We then discuss the role of histone tails in nucleosome-nucleosome interaction and finally report some new results on the simulation of chromatin stretching by analytical and numerical models. © 2006 Springer.
