The authors looked into whether the arrangement of LLPS-promoting and solubilizing sequences in the genome lead to single genome packaging. Read on to learn about generalizable principles of virus compaction.

I've always found the interactions between condensates and the glass cover slips to be rather fascinating, and these authors highlight (and show by example) that those interactions provide novel insights into the molecular interactions at play inside condensates.
