Where this comes from

Abstract

Transcription factors can form nuclear condensates at genomic sites, and condensates are thought to enhance transcriptional activity. In this issue of Cell, Saad et al. suggest that DNA binding prevents rather than facilitates condensate formation of particularly aggregation-prone transcription factors.
