Biological process

regulation of DNA catabolic process during apoptosis, regulation of DNA catabolism during apoptosis, regulation of DNA fragmentation involved in apoptotic nuclear change, regulation of endonucleolytic DNA catabolic process involved in apoptosis

Any process that modulates the frequency, rate or extent of apoptotic DNA fragmentation.

DNA fragmentation in response to apoptotic signals is achieved through the activity of apoptotic nucleases (see GO:0006309 'apoptotic DNA fragmentation'). Gene products involved in compartmentalization of such nucleases and in activation or repression of their enzymatic activity should be annotated to the regulation term GO:1902510 'regulation of apoptotic DNA fragmentation' or to one of its children (see PMID:15723341).
