Polycomb condensates can promote epigenetic marks but are not required for sustained chromatin compaction
Phase separation has been suggested as a mechanism for heterochromatin formation through condensation of heterochromatin-associated factors. Here the authors show Polycomb complex PRC1 forms condensates on chromatin. Using optogenetic tools they nucleate local Polycomb condensates to show that this...
