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.

Here's the 2nd paper that came out in the same day about p62 bodies. If you don't know much about them (no judging, I didn't either ;), these papers might help you get up to speed!

It was nice to get a sneak peak of this work from Jeremy Schmit at his Kitchen Table Talk in the fall. Check out Jeremy's video here for a great supplement to this paper!

Cool, it looks like growing microtubules are regulated at least in part by the phase separation of plus-end tracking proteins (+TIPs).
